Hilda had 60 kg of soya beans. She packed the soya beans equally into small packets. Each packet contained 6 kg of soya beans. She sold each packet for $7.40
- Hilda sold all the packets of soya beans. How much did she collect from the sale?
- However, Hilda would like to collect $291 from the sale. How much should she sell each 6 kg packet of soya beans for instead?
(a)
Number of packets of soya beans
= 60 ÷ 6
= 10
Amount that Hilda collected
= 10 x 7.40
= $74
(b)
Price that Hilda should sell each 6 kg packet of soya beans
= 291 ÷ 10
= $29.10
Answer(s): (a) $74; (b) $29.10
