She bought 4 kiwis, 4 kg of grapefruits and 4 kg of passion fruits. She paid a total of $67.60 for them. Find the cost of 100 g of passion fruits in cents.
Cost of the kiwis
= 4 x 3
= $12
Cost of the grapefruits
= 4 x 2.20
= $8.80
Cost of the passion fruits
= 67.60 - 8.80 - 12
= $46.80
1 kg = 1000 g
4 kg = 4000 g
Number of sets of 100 g
= 4000 ÷ 100
= 40
4000 g = 40 sets of 100 g
Cost of 100 g of passion fruits
= 46.80 ÷ 40
= $1.17
$1 = 100¢
$1.17 = 117¢
Answer(s): 117¢
