She bought 6 chikoos, 4 kg of persimmons and 3 kg of passion fruits. She paid a total of $73.30 for them. Find the cost of 100 g of passion fruits in cents.
Cost of the chikoos
= 6 x 3
= $18
Cost of the persimmons
= 4 x 2.20
= $8.80
Cost of the passion fruits
= 73.30 - 8.80 - 18
= $46.50
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
= 46.50 ÷ 30
= $1.55
$1 = 100¢
$1.55 = 155¢
Answer(s): 155¢
