Answer: The cost of 5.5 pounds strawberries =$ 7.98
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: A local grocery story has strawberries on sale for $1.45 per pound.
i.e. Cost for 1 pound strawberries = $1.45
Now, Cost of 5.5 pounds strawberries = 5.5 x (Cost for 1 pound strawberries)
= $ (5.5 x 1.45)
= $ 7.975 ≈ $ 7.98 [ Round to the nearest penny]
Hence, the cost of 5.5 pounds strawberries =$ 7.98
By the power rule,
(this seems to be the step you're not getting?)
The next step is to pull out a common factor of 
from the antiderivative:
so that the final result is
Example: Set up proportions.
3/4 cups → 1 batch
x cups → 2 batches
x = 2(3/4) = 6/4 = 1 1/2 cups
3/4 cups → 1 batch
y cups → 9 batches
y = 9(3/4) = 6 3/4 cups
