Agrocer 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?

The grocer ordered 175  lbs of strawberries

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that strawberries are $1.38 / lb and we want to find out how many pounds of strawberries the grocer ordered for the cost of $241.50

Let's begin by setting up a proportion of cost to pounds

$1.38 / lb = $241.50 / x lb        cross multiply

1.38 x = 241.50                          divide both sides by 1.38 to isolate x

x = 175

The grocer ordered 175  lbs of strawberries

the final amount you will pay is $68.04.

the tip is determined by the pre-tax amount, so we calculate the tip based on the original bill, not after we've added sales tax.

to find the tip:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we multiply that by 18.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 18 = 9.72

tip = 9.72$

to find the tax:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we can multiply that by 8 to get 8%.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 8 = 4.32

tax= 4.32

now we can add the tip and tax to the bill to get our total.

54 + 9.72 + 4.32 = 68.04

total: $68.04
