Answer:
Equation: 5.88/3=p-0.75
The original price for apples was $1.21
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation explanation:
$5.88 divided by 3 pounds of apples = the original price per pound - the $0.75 increase in price
$5.88 for 3 pounds of apples
we divide 5.88 by 3 to see how much money it was per pound
5.88/3=1.96
subtract 1.96 from the price increase of .75
1.96-.75=1.21
