Hey there!

If the price per orange is $.26 and we want to know how many oranges he bought and we have our total, we can set o equal to how many oranges he got and set up an algebraic equation:

0.26o = 2.08

We multiply .26 by o because o is how many oranges he bought and that's what we're solving for- so we multiply by the unit price.

To isolate o, we divide both sides by .26 to get:

The answer is C- Jim bought 8 oranges.

Hope this helps!
