Question

Mrs Rivera went to the store and spent $9.45 on apples. Apples are on sale for $1.35 per pound. How many pounds did Mrs Rivera by?

Answer 1

Set up an equation to model this situation.

1.35x=9.45

x is the pounds of apples.

Solve for x by dividing both sides by 1.35.

x=7

The answer is 7 pounds of apples.

Answer 2

so, basically
9.45/1.35
=7
