Hey there,
#1 First step.
So we will start off on doing 73.50 ÷ .49 because Jim Ring spent 73.50 and each pound would be $.49 and we need to find out how many pound did he take. So we do 73.50 ÷ .49 and that will give us 150.
Jim Ring took [tex]\boxed{150}[/tex] pounds.
Your correct answer would be A.)
