Fruits |
Cost |
One packet of 2 grapefruits |
$7 |
One packet of 3 kiwis |
$6.40 |
Number of packets of grapefruits
= 16 ÷ 2
= 8
Cost of the grapefruits
= 8 x 7
= $56
Number of packets of kiwis
= 6 ÷ 3
= 2
Cost of the kiwis
= 2 x 6.40
= $12.80
Total cost for the grapefruits and the kiwis
= 56 + 12.80
= $68.80
Answer(s): $68.80
