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.
