Shiyun had 120 kg of corn starch. She packed the corn starch equally into small boxes. Each box contained 6 kg of corn starch. She sold each box for $6.10
- Shiyun sold all the boxes of corn starch. How much did she collect from the sale?
- However, Shiyun would like to collect $206 from the sale. How much should she sell each 6 kg box of corn starch for instead?
(a)
Number of boxes of corn starch
= 120 ÷ 6
= 20
Amount that Shiyun collected
= 20 x 6.10
= $122
(b)
Price that Shiyun should sell each 6 kg box of corn starch
= 206 ÷ 20
= $10.30
Answer(s): (a) $122; (b) $10.30
