Risa had 60 kg of potato starch. She packed the potato starch equally into small bags. Each bag contained 6 kg of potato starch. She sold each bag for $5.30
- Risa sold all the bags of potato starch. How much did she collect from the sale?
- However, Risa would like to collect $294 from the sale. How much should she sell each 6 kg bag of potato starch for instead?
(a)
Number of bags of potato starch
= 60 ÷ 6
= 10
Amount that Risa collected
= 10 x 5.30
= $53
(b)
Price that Risa should sell each 6 kg bag of potato starch
= 294 ÷ 10
= $29.40
Answer(s): (a) $53; (b) $29.40
