Which equation models this problem?


Chelsea paid $54.90 for nine bath towels. What is the unit price, p, per towel?

A54.90p = 9
B9p= 54.90
Cp/9 = 54.90
Dp/54.90 = 9

Verified Answer :

what we need to do  is divide the total prize by the number of units, that is by 9:

we know this because 9 of those pieces, or 9p is equal to  54.90

so the right equation is B. 9p= 54.90


(another possibility would be p=54.90/9)

so the right equation is B. 9p= 54.90
