Abi bought some fruits. She spent $18 more than
45 of her money on some pears. She then spent $6 more than 20% of the remaining money on some chikoos. Given that she had $18 left,
- How much did Abi have at first?
- How many kilograms of chikoos did she buy if they cost $4 per kg?
(a)
100% - 20% = 80%
80% of remaining money
= 18 + 6
= 24
1% of remaining money
= 24 ÷ 80
= 0.3
100% of remaining money
= 100 x 0.3
= 30
15 of total money
= 30 + 18
= $48
55 of total money
= 5 x 48
= $240
Amount that Abi had at first = $240
(b)
20% of the remaining money
= 30 x 20%
= 30 x
20100 = $6
Amount spent on chikoos
= 6 + 6
= $12
Weight of chikoos bought
= 12 ÷ 4
= 3 kg
Answer(s): (a) $240; (b) 6 kg
