Tina had 100 kg of soya beans. She packed the soya beans equally into small boxes. Each box contained 5 kg of soya beans. She sold each box for $6.40
- Tina sold all the boxes of soya beans. How much did she collect from the sale?
- However, Tina would like to collect $228 from the sale. How much should she sell each 5 kg box of soya beans for instead?
(a)
Number of boxes of soya beans
= 100 ÷ 5
= 20
Amount that Tina collected
= 20 x 6.40
= $128
(b)
Price that Tina should sell each 5 kg box of soya beans
= 228 ÷ 20
= $11.40
Answer(s): (a) $128; (b) $11.40
