She bought 2 pears, 4 kg of chikoos and 5 kg of passion fruits. She paid a total of $54.90 for them. Find the cost of 100 g of passion fruits in cents.
Cost of the pears
= 2 x 5
= $10
Cost of the chikoos
= 4 x 1.10
= $4.40
Cost of the passion fruits
= 54.90 - 4.40 - 10
= $40.50
1 kg = 1000 g
5 kg = 5000 g
Number of sets of 100 g
= 5000 ÷ 100
= 50
5000 g = 50 sets of 100 g
Cost of 100 g of passion fruits
= 40.50 ÷ 50
= $0.81
$1 = 100¢
$0.81 = 81¢
Answer(s): 81¢
