Alright, first we need to find out how much simply one kg of apples costs. Let’s write out what we know.

-14 kg of apples costs $154

Let’s make a plan to solve for what we don’t know.

1. Divide 154 by 14 to find out the price of just one kg of apples

2. Multiply the answer to step one by 16 to find the cost of 16 kg of apples

Okay, let’s start with step 1.

154/14

I got 11, which means that each kg of apples costs 11 dollars.

Moving on to step two.

11 * 16

I got 176, which means 16 kg of apples costs 176 dollars, which is your answer!!!

Hope this helped! Comment if you have questions!
