I believe it's A, 4.75k + 2.25p =22.

Answer:

[tex]4.75k + 2.25p =22[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of 1 pound of kumquats is $4.75

So, cost of k pounds of kumquats is 4.75 k

Cost of 1 pound of Asian pears = $2.25

Cost of p pounds of Asian pears = 2.25 p

Since we are given that the total cost of  k pounds of kumquats and p pounds of Asian pears is $22

So, equation becomes:

[tex]4.75k + 2.25p =22[/tex]

Hence an equation in standard form for the weights of kumquats k and Asian pears p that a customer could buy with $22 is [tex]4.75k + 2.25p =22[/tex]
