At Tian Tian Fruits Stall, grapefruits are sold in packets of 5 and starfruits are sold in packets of 3. Abi bought 15 grapefruits and 6 starfruits. How much did she pay for the grapefruits and starfruits altogether?
| Fruits |
Cost |
| One packet of 5 grapefruits |
$6 |
| One packet of 3 starfruits |
$7.30 |
Number of packets of grapefruits
= 15 ÷ 5
= 3
Cost of the grapefruits
= 3 x 6
= $18
Number of packets of starfruits
= 6 ÷ 3
= 2
Cost of the starfruits
= 2 x 7.30
= $14.60
Total cost for the grapefruits and the starfruits
= 18 + 14.60
= $32.60
Answer(s): $32.60
