Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If the bar graph shows that the sales of strawberries doubled from 2021 to 2022, what was the sales figure in 2021 if it was 150 units in 2022? (2021)
  • Step 1: Understand that 'doubled' means the sales in 2022 are twice the sales in 2021.
  • Step 2: Let the sales in 2021 be represented as 'X'.
  • Step 3: Since the sales doubled, we can write the equation: 2 * X = 150.
  • Step 4: To find 'X', divide both sides of the equation by 2: X = 150 / 2.
  • Step 5: Calculate 150 divided by 2, which equals 75.
  • Step 6: Therefore, the sales figure in 2021 was 75 units.
  • Doubling and Halving – Understanding that if a quantity doubles, the original quantity can be found by halving the doubled amount.
  • Basic Arithmetic – Applying basic arithmetic operations to solve for unknowns in a word problem.
