Emma bought some fruits. She spent $11 more than
23 of her money on some pomegranates. She then spent $7 more than 30% of the remaining money on some chikoos. Given that she had $14 left,
- How much did Emma have at first?
- How many kilograms of chikoos did she buy if they cost $2 per kg?
(a)
100% - 30% = 70%
70% of remaining money
= 14 + 7
= 21
1% of remaining money
= 21 ÷ 70
= 0.3
100% of remaining money
= 100 x 0.3
= 30
13 of total money
= 30 + 11
= $41
33 of total money
= 3 x 41
= $123
Amount that Emma had at first = $123
(b)
30% of the remaining money
= 30 x 30%
= 30 x
30100 = $9
Amount spent on chikoos
= 7 + 9
= $16
Weight of chikoos bought
= 16 ÷ 2
= 8 kg
Answer(s): (a) $123; (b) 7 kg
