Jade had 60 kg of sesame seeds. She packed the sesame seeds equally into small packets. Each packet contained 3 kg of sesame seeds. She sold each packet for $5.10
- Jade sold all the packets of sesame seeds. How much did she collect from the sale?
- However, Jade would like to collect $208 from the sale. How much should she sell each 3 kg packet of sesame seeds for instead?
(a)
Number of packets of sesame seeds
= 60 ÷ 3
= 20
Amount that Jade collected
= 20 x 5.10
= $102
(b)
Price that Jade should sell each 3 kg packet of sesame seeds
= 208 ÷ 20
= $10.40
Answer(s): (a) $102; (b) $10.40
