Given:
3-pound tub of butter costs $3.85
3.85/3 = 1.2833 per pound.
3n = 3.85
3(1.2833) = 3.85
3.8499 = 3.85
3.85 = 3.85
I really need one too. Thanks for the question.

It relies on the fact that two expressions are identical precisely when corresponding coefficients are equal for each different type of term.
