The grocer ordered approximately 175 pounds of strawberries.
To solve this problem
The cost of strawberries (C) is related to the pounds of strawberries (p) by the equation:
Now, you mentioned that the strawberry order cost $241.50. Substituting C= 241. 150 into the equation, we can solve for p
Now, divide both sides by 1.38 to solve for p :
p = 241.50 / 1.38
p is approximately 175.
Therefore, the grocer ordered approximately 175 pounds of strawberries.
The complete option are :
A grocer can buy strawberries for $1.38 per pound. Write an equation relating c, the cost, and p, the pounds of strawberries. A strawberry order cost $241.50. How many pounds did the grocer order?
