| Fruits |
Cost |
| One packet of 4 passion fruits |
$7 |
| One packet of 3 starfruits |
$6.30 |
Number of packets of passion fruits
= 16 ÷ 4
= 4
Cost of the passion fruits
= 4 x 7
= $28
Number of packets of starfruits
= 6 ÷ 3
= 2
Cost of the starfruits
= 2 x 6.30
= $12.60
Total cost for the passion fruits and the starfruits
= 28 + 12.60
= $40.60
Answer(s): $40.60
