Erika had 120 kg of potato starch. She packed the potato starch equally into small bags. Each bag contained 6 kg of potato starch. She sold each bag for $6.60
- Erika sold all the bags of potato starch. How much did she collect from the sale?
- However, Erika would like to collect $210 from the sale. How much should she sell each 6 kg bag of potato starch for instead?
(a)
Number of bags of potato starch
= 120 ÷ 6
= 20
Amount that Erika collected
= 20 x 6.60
= $132
(b)
Price that Erika should sell each 6 kg bag of potato starch
= 210 ÷ 20
= $10.50
Answer(s): (a) $132; (b) $10.50
