BUY 6 APPLES AND GET 1 FREE
APPLES COST $4.00 EACH
Sahida purchased $120 worth of apples.
a) How much free apples did she get?
b) How many apples did she get altogether?
c) Sahida's friends also bought the apples on sale. She received 21 apples altogether, how much money did she spend?
120 / 4 = 30 apples she bought
30/6 = 5 free apples
The friend bought 18 apples for $72.
6 * 4 = 24
so 24 dollars for every bag of 7 apples
120/24 = 5 bags of 7 apples
you got one free in each bag, so 5 free
5*7 = 35 apples total
friend bought 21/7 = 3 bags for $24 each. 3 * 24 = 72 dollars
$4 for an apple is ridiculous
Your teacher asks tricky questions :)
To answer these questions, we first need to calculate the number of apples Sahida bought and the amount of money she spent.
Let's start by finding how many apples Sahida bought. We know that buying 6 apples will get her 1 free apple, so the ratio is 6:1. We can calculate the number of sets of 6 apples she bought by dividing the total amount spent by the cost of 6 apples.
a) How much free apples did she get?
To find the number of free apples, we need to calculate how many sets of 6 apples she bought. We divide the total amount spent by the cost of 6 apples and then multiply that result by 1 (since she gets 1 free apple for each set of 6).
Number of free apples = (Total amount spent / Cost of 6 apples) * 1
b) How many apples did she get altogether?
To find the total number of apples Sahida got, we add the number of apples she bought and the number of free apples she received.
Total number of apples = Number of apples bought + Number of free apples
c) Sahida's friends also bought the apples on sale. She received 21 apples altogether, so we can find the amount of money she spent by multiplying the cost of each apple by the total number of apples received.
Total amount spent = Cost of each apple * Total number of apples received
Now, let's calculate the answers to these questions using the given information:
Given:
Cost of each apple = $4.00
Total amount spent by Sahida = $120.00
Total number of apples received by Sahida's friends = 21
a) How many free apples did Sahida get?
Number of free apples = (Total amount spent / Cost of 6 apples) * 1
Number of free apples = ($120 / $4) * 1 = 30 * 1 = 30
Sahida got 30 free apples.
b) How many apples did Sahida get altogether?
Total number of apples = Number of apples bought + Number of free apples
Number of apples bought = (Total amount spent / Cost of each apple)
Number of apples bought = ($120 / $4) = 30
Total number of apples = Number of apples bought + Number of free apples
Total number of apples = 30 + 30 = 60
Sahida got a total of 60 apples.
c) How much money did Sahida spend?
Total amount spent = Cost of each apple * Total number of apples received
Total amount spent = $4.00 * 21 = $84.00
Sahida spent $84.00.
