Question

A gardener took 300 watermelons to market and sold three quarters of them, for $2.30 each. The rest was sold for $1.90. Calculate the total amount of money received by the gardener.

Answer 1

$660

Explanation:

3/4×300=225

225×$2.30=$517.5

300-225=75

75×$1.90=$142.5

$517.5+$142.5=$660

Answer 2

660$

Explanation:

3/4 x 300 = 225

225 x 2.30= 517.5

300-225= 75

75 x 1.90= 142.5

142.5$ + 517.5$= 660$
