At a fruit stall, 240 kiwis were sold in the morning and ⁵₇ of the remaining kiwis were sold in the afternoon. As a result, the number of kiwis left became ¹₆ of the total number of kiwis at first. Given that the kiwis were sold at $2.70 in packs of four kiwis, how much did the fruit stall receive from the sale of the kiwis in the afternoon?
Fraction of the remaining kiwis left
= 1 - ⁵₇
= ²₇

Make numerators the same.
²₇ of remaining kiwis = ¹₆ of total kiwis
²₇ of remaining kiwis = ²₁₂ of total kiwis

12 u - 7 u = 240
5 u = 240
1 u = 240 ÷ 5 = 48

Number of kiwis sold in the afternoon
= 5 u
= 5 x 48
= 240

Number of packs of four kiwis sold in the afternoon
= 240 ÷ 4
= 60

Amount received for kiwis sold in the afternoon
= 60 x 2.70
= $162

Answer(s): $162
