Answer: Hello there!

We want to write a problem where:

q=quarts of strawberries

2.50q=10

Ok, suppose this problem

"John is buying strawberries, every quart of strawberries costs $2.50, what is the number of quarts that john buys if the final price is $10?"

this problem is solved with the equation:

$2.50*q = $10

q = 10/2.50 = 4

John buys 4 quarts of strawberries.
