Apples $160
Strawberries $42
Blueberries $84
1. Olivia filled 4 baskets of apples. Her friend filled up one additional basket of
apples. If all of the baskets sold for a total of $160, how much money did
each basket of apples cost?
2. Olivia filled 6 baskets of strawberries. Later she combined the fruit evenly
into 3 larger boxes. If all 3 boxes sold for $42, how much money did each
box of strawberries cost?
3. Olivia filled up 8 baskets of blueberries. On the way to the market, one of the
baskets fell and about half of the berries were scattered. If the remaining full
baskets sold for $84, how much did each basket of blueberries cost?
1. For the apples:
- Divide the total number of apples (482) by the number of baskets (4): 482 ÷ 4 = 120.75
- Each basket has 120 apples, and there are 0.75 apples left over.
2. For the strawberries:
- Divide the total number of strawberries (256) by the number of baskets (6): 256 ÷ 6 = 42.67
- Each basket has 42 strawberries, and there are 0.67 strawberries left over.
3. For the blueberries:
- Divide the total number of blueberries (1,005) by the number of baskets (8): 1,005 ÷ 8 = 125.63
- Each basket has 125 blueberries, and there are 0.63 blueberries left over.
1. For the apples:
- The total cost of the baskets is $160, and there are 5 baskets in total (4 filled by Olivia and 1 filled by her friend).
- Divide the total cost by the number of baskets: $160 ÷ 5 = $32
- Each basket of apples costs $32.
2. For the strawberries:
- The total cost of the 3 boxes is $42.
- Divide the total cost by the number of boxes: $42 ÷ 3 = $14
- Each box of strawberries costs $14.
3. For the blueberries:
- The total cost of the remaining full baskets is $84.
- Since one basket fell, there are 7 remaining full baskets.
- Divide the total cost by the number of remaining full baskets: $84 ÷ 7 = $12
- Each basket of blueberries costs $12.
