Lynn had 60 kg of black beans. She packed the black beans equally into small bags. Each bag contained 6 kg of black beans. She sold each bag for $6.30
- Lynn sold all the bags of black beans. How much did she collect from the sale?
- However, Lynn would like to collect $205 from the sale. How much should she sell each 6 kg bag of black beans for instead?
(a)
Number of bags of black beans
= 60 ÷ 6
= 10
Amount that Lynn collected
= 10 x 6.30
= $63
(b)
Price that Lynn should sell each 6 kg bag of black beans
= 205 ÷ 10
= $20.50
Answer(s): (a) $63; (b) $20.50
