Can anyone please solve this problem with solution?A farmer grows strawberries. They cost him $0.8 a basket to grow. He is able to sell only 85...

Assuming that you are talking about basket of strawberries
(I don't think a single strawberry would cost 2.40, but if so the equation is the
same).

Consider x as being the number of basket
of strawberries produced. He sells only 85%, so he will sell 0.85*x. Also, he sells each
basket for 2.40. Finally, the costs of production are 0.80 cents a basket, so we must do
0.80*x as the total costs.

The equation will
be:

(0.85*2.40)*x - 0.80*x =
2480

2.04*x - 0.80*x = 2480 ::
subtracting

1.24*x = 2480 :: dividing the second part by
1.24

x = 2000

So
the answer is 2000 baskets.

Hope that helps
=)
