Emma had 100 kg of sesame seeds. She packed the sesame seeds equally into small boxes. Each box contained 4 kg of sesame seeds. She sold each box for $6.80
- Emma sold all the boxes of sesame seeds. How much did she collect from the sale?
- However, Emma would like to collect $295 from the sale. How much should she sell each 4 kg box of sesame seeds for instead?
(a)
Number of boxes of sesame seeds
= 100 ÷ 4
= 25
Amount that Emma collected
= 25 x 6.80
= $170
(b)
Price that Emma should sell each 4 kg box of sesame seeds
= 295 ÷ 25
= $11.80
Answer(s): (a) $170; (b) $11.80
