Write a function rule that gives the total cost c(p) of p pounds of sugar if each pound costs $0.59. A. c(p) = 59p B. c(p) = C. c(p) = p + 0.59 D. c(p) = 0.59p
Answer:
D. \(c(p) = 0.59p\)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Each pound of sugar costs $0.59,
⇒ Price of 1 pound of sugar = 0.59 dollars,
So, the price of p pounds of sugar = 0.59p dollars
If c(p) shows the cost of p pounds ( in dollars ) of sugar,
\(\implies c(p) = 0.59p\)
Which is the required function rule.
Option 'D' is correct.
