Jaslyn bought some fruits. She spent $13 more than
23 of her money on some guavas. She then spent $6 more than 30% of the remaining money on some starfruits. Given that she had $22 left,
- How much did Jaslyn have at first?
- How many kilograms of starfruits did she buy if they cost $2 per kg?
(a)
100% - 30% = 70%
70% of remaining money
= 22 + 6
= 28
1% of remaining money
= 28 ÷ 70
= 0.4
100% of remaining money
= 100 x 0.4
= 40
13 of total money
= 40 + 13
= $53
33 of total money
= 3 x 53
= $159
Amount that Jaslyn had at first = $159
(b)
30% of the remaining money
= 40 x 30%
= 40 x
30100 = $12
Amount spent on starfruits
= 6 + 12
= $18
Weight of starfruits bought
= 18 ÷ 2
= 9 kg
Answer(s): (a) $159; (b) 6 kg
