She bought 6 passion fruits, 4 kg of mangosteens and 3 kg of mangoes. She paid a total of $47.50 for them. Find the cost of 100 g of mangoes in cents.
Cost of the passion fruits
= 6 x 1
= $6
Cost of the mangosteens
= 4 x 3.10
= $12.40
Cost of the mangoes
= 47.50 - 12.40 - 6
= $29.10
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 mangoes
= 29.10 ÷ 30
= $0.97
$1 = 100¢
$0.97 = 97¢
Answer(s): 97¢
