Question

A 5-pound bag of potatoes cost $4.65. How many pounds, p, can you buy for $8.37

Answer 1

Let p be the number of pounds you can buy for $8.37.
Each pound costs $4.65/5 = $0.93.
So, you can buy $8.37 / $0.93 = p pounds of potatoes.
Therefore, you can buy p = 8.37 / 0.93 = <<8.37/0.93=9>>9 pounds of potatoes. Answer: \boxed{9}.
