Given:

You bought $\dfrac{3}{4}$ pound of fudge for 6.75.

To find:

The equation and solve the equation to find the cost of the fudge per pound.

Solution:

Let x be the cost of the fudge per pound.

You bought $\dfrac{3}{4}$ pound of fudge for 6.75.

$\dfrac{3}{4}x=6.75$

$3x=6.75\times 4$

$3x=27$

Divide both sides by 3.

$x=\dfrac{27}{3}$

$x=9$

Therefore, the required equation is $\dfrac{3}{4}x=6.75$ and the cost of the fudge is 9 per pound.
