Respuesta :

Let's begin by listing out the information given to us:

A cherry tree = 5p

Let pine tree be represented as p

A cherry tree = $30

The cost of a pine tree is given by:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 30=5p\Rightarrow5p=30 \\ 5p=30 \\ p=30\text{ }\div\text{ 5} \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, the third option is the correct answer
