Diana bought some fruits. She spent $16 more than
45 of her money on some lemons. She then spent $8 more than 20% of the remaining money on some chikoos. Given that she had $24 left,
- How much did Diana 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
= 24 + 8
= 32
1% of remaining money
= 32 ÷ 80
= 0.4
100% of remaining money
= 100 x 0.4
= 40
15 of total money
= 40 + 16
= $56
55 of total money
= 5 x 56
= $280
Amount that Diana had at first = $280
(b)
20% of the remaining money
= 40 x 20%
= 40 x
20100 = $8
Amount spent on chikoos
= 8 + 8
= $16
Weight of chikoos bought
= 16 ÷ 4
= 4 kg
Answer(s): (a) $280; (b) 8 kg
