Gabby had 120 kg of rice. She packed the rice equally into small bags. Each bag contained 3 kg of rice. She sold each bag for $5.20
- Gabby sold all the bags of rice. How much did she collect from the sale?
- However, Gabby would like to collect $244 from the sale. How much should she sell each 3 kg bag of rice for instead?
(a)
Number of bags of rice
= 120 ÷ 3
= 40
Amount that Gabby collected
= 40 x 5.20
= $208
(b)
Price that Gabby should sell each 3 kg bag of rice
= 244 ÷ 40
= $6.10
Answer(s): (a) $208; (b) $6.10
