Olivium had 60 kg of black beans. She packed the black beans equally into small packets. Each packet contained 3 kg of black beans. She sold each packet for $7.40
- Olivium sold all the packets of black beans. How much did she collect from the sale?
- However, Olivium would like to collect $206 from the sale. How much should she sell each 3 kg packet of black beans for instead?
(a)
Number of packets of black beans
= 60 ÷ 3
= 20
Amount that Olivium collected
= 20 x 7.40
= $148
(b)
Price that Olivium should sell each 3 kg packet of black beans
= 206 ÷ 20
= $10.30
Answer(s): (a) $148; (b) $10.30
