Raeann had 120 kg of brown rice. She packed the brown rice equally into small boxes. Each box contained 6 kg of brown rice. She sold each box for $5.40
- Raeann sold all the boxes of brown rice. How much did she collect from the sale?
- However, Raeann would like to collect $242 from the sale. How much should she sell each 6 kg box of brown rice for instead?
(a)
Number of boxes of brown rice
= 120 ÷ 6
= 20
Amount that Raeann collected
= 20 x 5.40
= $108
(b)
Price that Raeann should sell each 6 kg box of brown rice
= 242 ÷ 20
= $12.10
Answer(s): (a) $108; (b) $12.10
