write your own problem similar to question 5 and then write and solve the equation how you got the answer. and by the way question 5 was if you have $32 to spend , how many pounds of apples can you buy with a gallon of milk at each store ? so what you have to do is is write your own similar problem and then write and solve the equation and how you got the answer.

this is one-2-step equation

Answer 1

**Problem:**

If you have $50 to spend, how many pounds of bananas can you buy if a loaf of bread costs $4 at the store?

**Solution:**

1. **Define the Variables**:
- Let \( x \) be the number of pounds of bananas I can buy.
- The price of bananas is $2 per pound.
- The price of a loaf of bread is $4.

2. **Set up the equation**:
- First, if I buy one loaf of bread, I will spend $4, leaving me with:
\[
50 - 4 = 46
\]
- The remaining money can be spent on bananas, which cost $2 per pound:
\[
2x = 46
\]

3. **Solve the equation**:
- To find \( x \), divide both sides by 2:
\[
x = \frac{46}{2} = 23
\]

Therefore, I can buy **23 pounds of bananas** after purchasing a loaf of bread.
