Cost |
One packet of 2 passion fruits |

One packet of 3 lemons |

Number of packets of passion fruits

Cost of the passion fruits
= 7 x 4
= $28
Number of packets of lemons
= 6 ÷ 3
= 2
Cost of the lemons
= 2 x 6.60
= $13.20
Total cost for the passion fruits and the lemons

= $41.20
Answer(s): $41.20
