Julie bought some fruits. She spent $13 more than
34 of her money on some passion fruits. She then spent $4 more than 10% of the remaining money on some kiwis. Given that she had $14 left,
- How much did Julie have at first?
- How many kilograms of kiwis did she buy if they cost $3 per kg?
(a)
100% - 10% = 90%
90% of remaining money
= 14 + 4
= 18
1% of remaining money
= 18 ÷ 90
= 0.2
100% of remaining money
= 100 x 0.2
= 20
14 of total money
= 20 + 13
= $33
44 of total money
= 4 x 33
= $132
Amount that Julie had at first = $132
(b)
10% of the remaining money
= 20 x 10%
= 20 x
10100 = $2
Amount spent on kiwis
= 4 + 2
= $6
Weight of kiwis bought
= 6 ÷ 3
= 2 kg
Answer(s): (a) $132; (b) 4 kg
