At Tian Tian Fruits Stall, passion fruits are sold in packets of 2 and kiwis are sold in packets of 3. Hazel bought 14 passion fruits and 6 kiwis. How much did she pay for the passion fruits and kiwis altogether?
| Fruits |
Cost |
| One packet of 2 passion fruits |
$9 |
| One packet of 3 kiwis |
$5.20 |
Number of packets of passion fruits
= 14 ÷ 2
= 7
Cost of the passion fruits
= 7 x 9
= $63
Number of packets of kiwis
= 6 ÷ 3
= 2
Cost of the kiwis
= 2 x 5.20
= $10.40
Total cost for the passion fruits and the kiwis
= 63 + 10.40
= $73.40
Answer(s): $73.40
