At a grocery store, the price of a watermelon is determined by how many pounds the watermelon weighs. The price of a watermelon
that weighs 7.3 pounds is $4.38. Write an equation that is used to determine the price, p, in dollars, of any watermelon based on the number of pounds, w, the watermelon weighs.
Let's rewrite the equation: b = 4c - s². Plug in your values: b = 4(25) - (9)² Now simplify: 4 times 25 equals 100 9 squared equals 81 So, b = 100 - 81 Calculate: 100 minus 81 equals 19 b is 19.
