A person buys apples and bananas. Each apple costs $1.50, and each banana costs $0.75. The person spends a total of $15.00. If $a$ represents the number of apples and $b$ represents the number of bananas, which equation represents the total cost of the purchase?

A.

$1.50 a + 0.75 b = 15.00$

B.

$0.75 a + 1.50 b = 15.00$

C.

$(a + b) (1.50 + 0.75) = 15.00$

D.

$1.50 a \times 0.75 b = 15.00$
