Question

Bella has 6.3 kilograms of berries. She packs them 0.35 kilogram of berries into each container.

A. How many containers will she fill?

B. She then sells each container for 2.99. How much will Bella earn if she sells all the containers?

Answer 1

to find how many containers she will fill we must divide the total amount of berries she has by how much each container can hold. the total amount of berries she has is 6.3 kilograms and the amount of berries a container will hold is 0.35 kilograms. so 6.3 / 0.35

6.3 / 0.35 = 18

Bella will fill 18 containers

if each container sells for 2.99 we must multiply the amount of filled containers, which is 18, by how much each sells for, which is 2.99.
so 18 x 2.99
18 x 2.99 = 53.82
Bella will make $53.82
