Zara had 120 kg of green beans. She packed the green beans equally into small packets. Each packet contained 4 kg of green beans. She sold each packet for $6.20
- Zara sold all the packets of green beans. How much did she collect from the sale?
- However, Zara would like to collect $231 from the sale. How much should she sell each 4 kg packet of green beans for instead?
(a)
Number of packets of green beans
= 120 ÷ 4
= 30
Amount that Zara collected
= 30 x 6.20
= $186
(b)
Price that Zara should sell each 4 kg packet of green beans
= 231 ÷ 30
= $7.70
Answer(s): (a) $186; (b) $7.70
