Min had 105 kg of brown rice. She packed the brown rice equally into small bags. Each bag contained 3 kg of brown rice. She sold each bag for $7.20
- Min sold all the bags of brown rice. How much did she collect from the sale?
- However, Min would like to collect $259 from the sale. How much should she sell each 3 kg bag of brown rice for instead?
(a)
Number of bags of brown rice
= 105 ÷ 3
= 35
Amount that Min collected
= 35 x 7.20
= $252
(b)
Price that Min should sell each 3 kg bag of brown rice
= 259 ÷ 35
= $7.40
Answer(s): (a) $252; (b) $7.40
