i think its A because the amount for one orange is .42

Answer:

The correct answer is option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of the oranges is directly proportional to the number of oranges

Thus ,

p ∝ n -------------------------- Eq  (A)

\(p = kn\\\)

cost of \(6 \\\) oranges is equal to $ \(2.52\\\)

Cost of \(1\\\) orange is equal to \(= \frac{2.52}{6} \\= 0.42\\\)

Thus, Eq (A) can be re-written as

\(p = 0.42 n\\\)

Thus, the correct answer is option A
