- If f = 6, how much change did Mrs Hazel receive if she paid the fruit seller with a $100 note?
(a)
Amount paid for the durians
= 2 x
f = $2
f Amount paid for the pomegranates
= 3 x 2
f = $6
f Total amount paid for the fruits

f + 6
f = $8
f (b)

f = 8 x 6
= $48
Amount of change that Mrs Hazel received
