One package of blueberries cost $3. How many packages of blueberries can you buy for $9? Round the answer to the nearest whole number!

3 packages

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many packages you can buy for $9, you have to divide 9 by 3.

Since each package costs $3.

So, 9/3 = 3

So you can buy 3 packages of blueberries.

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :
