Question 69302

I'M ASSUMING THAT YOU ARE LETTING y=COST PER ORANGE.  IF SO, THEN I WOULD SAY THAT YOU NAILED THIS ONE!!!!!  GOOD WORK!

Let y=cost per orange

Now we are told that the cost per orange (y) times the number of oranges (x) equals $5.  So, our equation to solve is:

xy=$5  divide both sides by x

y=$5/x--------------------the same answer as yours.


Hope this helps----ptaylor
