Kimberly had 80 kg of oats. She packed the oats equally into small packets. Each packet contained 4 kg of oats. She sold each packet for $6.30
- Kimberly sold all the packets of oats. How much did she collect from the sale?
- However, Kimberly would like to collect $256 from the sale. How much should she sell each 4 kg packet of oats for instead?
(a)
Number of packets of oats
= 80 ÷ 4
= 20
Amount that Kimberly collected
= 20 x 6.30
= $126
(b)
Price that Kimberly should sell each 4 kg packet of oats
= 256 ÷ 20
= $12.80
Answer(s): (a) $126; (b) $12.80
