Shiyun had 60 kg of black beans. She packed the black beans equally into small bags. Each bag contained 2 kg of black beans. She sold each bag for $5.40
- Shiyun sold all the bags of black beans. How much did she collect from the sale?
- However, Shiyun would like to collect $279 from the sale. How much should she sell each 2 kg bag of black beans for instead?
(a)
Number of bags of black beans
= 60 ÷ 2
= 30
Amount that Shiyun collected
= 30 x 5.40
= $162
(b)
Price that Shiyun should sell each 2 kg bag of black beans
= 279 ÷ 30
= $9.30
Answer(s): (a) $162; (b) $9.30
