Answer:

839.369863

(Might need to round it depending on what the question requests)

Explanation:

Step 1: I divided $61,274 by 73.

Step 2: I multiplied 839.369863 by 73, and I got 61,274.

---------------------------------------------------------------

If it asks to explain say this:

"I divided the amount of money spent by the total amount of laptops bought, and i got 839.369863, To make sure it can be multiplied by 73 to get $61,274, I multiplied 839.369863 by 73 to get $61,274."

Hope this helps :)
