Diana had 80 kg of corn starch. She packed the corn starch equally into small boxes. Each box contained 4 kg of corn starch. She sold each box for $6.70
- Diana sold all the boxes of corn starch. How much did she collect from the sale?
- However, Diana would like to collect $294 from the sale. How much should she sell each 4 kg box of corn starch for instead?
(a)
Number of boxes of corn starch
= 80 ÷ 4
= 20
Amount that Diana collected

= $134
(b)
Price that Diana should sell each 4 kg box of corn starch
= 294 ÷ 20
= $14.70
Answer(s): (a) $134; (b) $14.70
