Question

One package of blackberries costs $3. How many packages of blackberries can you buy for $15?

Answer 1

Answer:

5 packages

Step-by-step explanation:

One package of blackberries cost $3

Let x represent the number of packages that will cost $15

1 = $3

x= $15

3x= 15

Divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 3

3x= 15/3

x= 5

Hence 5 packages of blackberries will cost $15
