Almonds sell for $4.50 per pound, and green beans for $3.75 per pound. Paul bought some almonds and some green beans. The total weight was 3.5 pounds and cost $9.75.


Let p represent the number of pounds of almonds.


Which equation represents the situation described?




A.

3.75p + 4.5(p – 3.5) = 9.75


B.

4.5p + 3.75(p – 3.5) = 9.75


C.

4.5p + 3.75(3.5 – p) = 9.75


D.

3.75p + 9.75(3.5 – p) = 4.5

total weight is 3.5
3.5=p+greenbeans
3.5-p=greenbeans

cost=p times 4.5+greenbeens times 3.75
total cost=9.75
sub 3.5-p for greenbeens

9.75=4.5p+3.75(3.5-p)
4.5p+3.75(3.5-p)=9.75
