Risa had 60 kg of sesame seeds. She packed the sesame seeds equally into small bags. Each bag contained 3 kg of sesame seeds. She sold each bag for $6.30
- Risa sold all the bags of sesame seeds. How much did she collect from the sale?
- However, Risa would like to collect $210 from the sale. How much should she sell each 3 kg bag of sesame seeds for instead?
(a)
Number of bags of sesame seeds
= 60 ÷ 3
= 20
Amount that Risa collected
= 20 x 6.30
= $126
(b)
Price that Risa should sell each 3 kg bag of sesame seeds
= 210 ÷ 20
= $10.50
Answer(s): (a) $126; (b) $10.50
