She bought 6 pomegranates, 6 kg of kiwis and 3 kg of passion fruits. She paid a total of $46.50 for them. Find the cost of 100 g of passion fruits in cents.
Cost of the pomegranates
= 6 x 4
= $24
Cost of the kiwis
= 6 x 3.50
= $21.00
Cost of the passion fruits
= 46.50 - 21.00 - 24
= $1.50
1 kg = 1000 g
3 kg = 3000 g
Number of sets of 100 g
= 3000 ÷ 100
= 30
3000 g = 30 sets of 100 g
Cost of 100 g of passion fruits
= 1.50 ÷ 30
= $0.05
$1 = 100¢
$0.05 = 5¢
Answer(s): 5¢
