At Tian Tian Fruits Stall, pomegranates are sold in packets of 2 and chikoos are sold in packets of 3. Nora bought 12 pomegranates and 6 chikoos. How much did she pay for the pomegranates and chikoos altogether?
| Fruits |
Cost |
| One packet of 2 pomegranates |
$9 |
| One packet of 3 chikoos |
$8.80 |
Number of packets of pomegranates
= 12 ÷ 2
= 6
Cost of the pomegranates
= 6 x 9
= $54
Number of packets of chikoos
= 6 ÷ 3
= 2
Cost of the chikoos
= 2 x 8.80
= $17.60
Total cost for the pomegranates and the chikoos
= 54 + 17.60
= $71.60
Answer(s): $71.60
