Cindy had 100 kg of flour. She packed the flour equally into small bags. Each bag contained 5 kg of flour. She sold each bag for $6.30
- Cindy sold all the bags of flour. How much did she collect from the sale?
- However, Cindy would like to collect $256 from the sale. How much should she sell each 5 kg bag of flour for instead?

= $126
(b)
Price that Cindy should sell each 5 kg bag of flour
= 256 ÷ 20
= $12.80
