A grocer can buy strawberries for $1.38 per pound
The order of strawberries cost $241.50. How many pounds did the grocer order?

I know the answer is 175 I just don’t know how to explain how I got it

Sagot :

Answer:  175 pounds

Work Shown:

x = number of pounds of strawberries purchased

1.38x = cost of buying those x pounds of strawberries, at $1.38 a pound

1.38x = 241.50

x = (241.50)/(1.38)

x = 175

As a check,

1.38*x = 1.38*175 = 241.50

which confirms the answer
