At Tian Tian Fruits Stall, pomegranates are sold in packets of 2 and chikoos are sold in packets of 3. Tina bought 16 pomegranates and 6 chikoos. How much did she pay for the pomegranates and chikoos altogether?
| Fruits |
Cost |
| One packet of 2 pomegranates |
$7 |
| One packet of 3 chikoos |
$5.40 |
Number of packets of pomegranates
= 16 ÷ 2
= 8
Cost of the pomegranates
= 8 x 7
= $56
Number of packets of chikoos
= 6 ÷ 3
= 2
Cost of the chikoos
= 2 x 5.40
= $10.80
Total cost for the pomegranates and the chikoos
= 56 + 10.80
= $66.80
Answer(s): $66.80
