Question

Jared was given $125.00 to buy 23 packs of strawberries. He came home with the strawberries and $21.50 in change. What was the cost of each pack of strawberries?

Answer 1

Answer: $4.50

Explanation:

125=21.50+23x

This is the equation to find this situation since 125 was given and it equals the left over and the spent money.

Subtract 21.50 from both sides first to be epic.

103.5=23x

Very cool! Divide both sides by 23 to get 4.5=x
