Shannon had 120 kg of brown rice. She packed the brown rice equally into small packets. Each packet contained 6 kg of brown rice. She sold each packet for $6.90
- Shannon sold all the packets of brown rice. How much did she collect from the sale?
- However, Shannon would like to collect $244 from the sale. How much should she sell each 6 kg packet of brown rice for instead?
(a)
Number of packets of brown rice
= 120 ÷ 6
= 20
Amount that Shannon collected
= 20 x 6.90
= $138
(b)
Price that Shannon should sell each 6 kg packet of brown rice
= 244 ÷ 20
= $12.20
Answer(s): (a) $138; (b) $12.20
