Vanessa had 105 kg of rice. She packed the rice equally into small bags. Each bag contained 3 kg of rice. She sold each bag for $7.20
- Vanessa sold all the bags of rice. How much did she collect from the sale?
- However, Vanessa would like to collect $294 from the sale. How much should she sell each 3 kg bag of rice for instead?
(a)
Number of bags of rice
= 105 ÷ 3
= 35
Amount that Vanessa collected
= 35 x 7.20
= $252
(b)
Price that Vanessa should sell each 3 kg bag of rice
= 294 ÷ 35
= $8.40
Answer(s): (a) $252; (b) $8.40
