She bought 3 mangoes, 5 kg of passion fruits and 2 kg of starfruits. She paid a total of $48.90 for them. Find the cost of 100 g of starfruits in cents.
Cost of the mangoes
= 3 x 5
= $15
Cost of the passion fruits
= 5 x 4.30
= $21.50
Cost of the starfruits
= 48.90 - 21.50 - 15
= $12.40
1 kg = 1000 g
2 kg = 2000 g
Number of sets of 100 g
= 2000 ÷ 100
= 20
2000 g = 20 sets of 100 g
Cost of 100 g of starfruits
= 12.40 ÷ 20
= $0.62
$1 = 100¢
$0.62 = 62¢
Answer(s): 62¢
