    A. 3.75

    Let X = number of pounds. Since we already know that one pound costs $1.86, what ever number X stands for when multiplied with $1.86 will equal to the total cost of $6.98

    Our algebraic expression will be like this:

    $1.86x = $6.98

    To get X, divide both sides by $1.86

    $1.86x/$1.86 = $6.98/$1.86

    x = 3.7526 rounded to the nearest hundreds

    x = 3.75

    To check: Substitute X with 3.75

    $1.86 * 3.75 = $6.98

    $6.98 = $6.98 equal. value of X is correct.
