Victorium had 120 kg of oats. She packed the oats equally into small bags. Each bag contained 3 kg of oats. She sold each bag for $5.70
- Victorium sold all the bags of oats. How much did she collect from the sale?
- However, Victorium would like to collect $284 from the sale. How much should she sell each 3 kg bag of oats for instead?
(a)
Number of bags of oats
= 120 ÷ 3
= 40
Amount that Victorium collected
= 40 x 5.70
= $228
(b)
Price that Victorium should sell each 3 kg bag of oats
= 284 ÷ 40
= $7.10
Answer(s): (a) $228; (b) $7.10
