Answer 1

36 bags of 5 pounds Ms. Sacksteader can sell , 144 $ money Ms. Sacksteader make for the 5-pound bags

Step-by-step explanation:

Ms. Sacksteader  buys 272 pounds of potatoes for $99.

She wants to sell them for twice as much.

=> 99 * 2 =  198 $

9 bags containing 10 pounds each  => 9 * 10 = 90 pounds

remaining = 272 - 90 = 182 pounds

182 = 36 * 5  + 2

36 bags of 5 pounds

Her family will eat = 2 pounds Potatoes

Each 5-pound bag of potatoes sells for $4.

=> 36 * 4 = 144 $

198 - 144 = 54 $  for  9 Bags of 10 pounds

=> 10 pound bag sold for 54/9 = 6 $
