Rachel had 80 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 $7.20
- Rachel sold all the packets of green beans. How much did she collect from the sale?
- However, Rachel would like to collect $210 from the sale. How much should she sell each 4 kg packet of green beans for instead?
(a)
Number of packets of green beans
= 80 ÷ 4
= 20
Amount that Rachel collected
= 20 x 7.20
= $144
(b)
Price that Rachel should sell each 4 kg packet of green beans
= 210 ÷ 20
= $10.50
Answer(s): (a) $144; (b) $10.50
