Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. Mallory goes to the farmers market every weekend. She buys six apples for $0.75 each and a bagful of oranges that are priced at $1.25 per orange. The total charge is $14.50. Write the equation representing this situation where n represents the number of oranges.

a) The equation for the situation = 14.50 = 4.5 + 1.25n

b) The number of oranges she bought = 8 oranges

Step-by-step explanation:

Where n represents the number of oranges.

The equation is written as

Total charge = $0.75 × 6 + $1.25 × n

$14.50 = $0.75 × 6 + $1.25 × n

14.50 = 4.5 + 1.25n

1.25n = 14.5 - 4.5

1.25n = 10

n = 10 / 1.25

n = 8 oranges
