it costs $0.99 per pound for apples at Publix. (A) Write an equation to represent the price of apples. (B) Find how much it costs to buy 8 pounds.

A. $0.99p

B. $0.99 (8) = $7.92

Step-by-step explanation:

To show that you multiply the unit price by the amount, we can use the variable p. Now, this equation shows that you multiply the price per one pound by the amount of pounds.

If you want to find the cost of 8 pounds, you just put the 8 in place of the p to represent how many pounds. Now, you just need to multiply 0.99 x 8, which equals $7.92.
