The Watsons sold a valuable painting for $59,000. This price is $1,500 more than twice the amount they originally paid for it. How much did they originally pay? PLEASE FAST

The order costs $241.50 and we know that one pound of strawberries costs $1.38

so to find the amount of pounds of strawberries that the grocer ordered, we divide 241.50 by 1.38

the grocer ordered 175 pounds of strawberries

i’m sorry people have been giving you the wrong answer but i hope this was able to help! :)
