She bought 4 pomegranates, 2 kg of pears and 4 kg of passion fruits. She paid a total of $66.80 for them. Find the cost of 100 g of passion fruits in cents.
Cost of the pomegranates
= 4 x 4
= $16
Cost of the pears
= 2 x 2.80
= $5.60
Cost of the passion fruits
= 66.80 - 5.60 - 16
= $45.20
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
= 45.20 ÷ 40
= $1.13
$1 = 100¢
$1.13 = 113¢
Answer(s): 113¢
