The grocer ordered 175  lbs of strawberries

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that strawberries are $1.38 / lb and we want to find out how many pounds of strawberries the grocer ordered for the cost of $241.50

Let's begin by setting up a proportion of cost to pounds

$1.38 / lb = $241.50 / x lb        cross multiply

1.38 x = 241.50                          divide both sides by 1.38 to isolate x

x = 175

The grocer ordered 175  lbs of strawberries

x= 149. 24+7=31. 180-31=149
