At Tian Tian Fruits Stall, dragonfruits are sold in packets of 2 and grapefruits are sold in packets of 3. Kimberly bought 14 dragonfruits and 6 grapefruits. How much did she pay for the dragonfruits and grapefruits altogether?
| Fruits |
Cost |
| One packet of 2 dragonfruits |
$6 |
| One packet of 3 grapefruits |
$8.90 |
Number of packets of dragonfruits
= 14 ÷ 2
= 7
Cost of the dragonfruits
= 7 x 6
= $42
Number of packets of grapefruits
= 6 ÷ 3
= 2
Cost of the grapefruits
= 2 x 8.90
= $17.80
Total cost for the dragonfruits and the grapefruits
= 42 + 17.80
= $59.80
Answer(s): $59.80
