Sally is selling strawberries at the farmer’s market. She sells 5 boxes in the morning, and then sells half of the remaining boxes of strawberries by the end of the day. If Sally ended up with 9 boxes of strawberries left at the end of the day, how many boxes did she start with

23

Step-by-step explanation:

I did this backwards.

Since we know that Sally ended up with 9 boxes of strawberries, and sold half of the remaining strawberries, she must've had 18 boxes. Adding the 5 boxes from the beginning gets us 18+5=23

You also could've wrote an equation.

x=boxes of strawberries

x the total amount of boxes in the beginning of the day

x-5 the 5 boxes she sold

(x-5)/2 half of the remaining boxes sold

(x-5)/2=9 the amount left

22.83 repeating

step-by-step explanation:

137 ÷ 6 is 22.8333333 therefore we understand that 3 is repeating.
