Suppose Jurene paid more than Php 600 and each kg of rice costs Php 34. What could be the least amount she will pay for 2 kg of fish to the nearest pesos?
how many kg of rice?
If there were 17kg of rice, then that would leave only Php22 for the fish.
I think this is incomplete
To find the least amount Jurene will pay for 2 kg of fish, we need to know the cost of each kilogram of fish. Since that is not provided, we cannot calculate the exact amount. However, we can provide an example.
Let's say the cost per kilogram of fish is Php 50.
To find the total cost of 2 kg of fish, we multiply the cost per kilogram (Php 50) by the weight (2 kg):
Total cost = Php 50/kg * 2 kg = Php 100
Therefore, if the cost per kilogram of fish is Php 50, the least amount Jurene will pay for 2 kg of fish is Php 100. However, please note that this is just an example, and the actual cost per kilogram of fish may vary.
To find the least amount Jurene will pay for 2 kg of fish, we first need to know the minimum amount she paid for rice.
Given that the price of each kg of rice is Php 34, and she paid more than Php 600, we can set up an inequality to represent this:
Total amount paid for rice > Php 600
34 * kg of rice > Php 600
Let's solve this inequality to find the minimum amount she paid for rice:
34 * kg of rice > 600
kg of rice > 600 / 34
kg of rice > 17.647
Since the number of kilograms of rice must be a whole number, the minimum amount she paid for rice would be 18 kg.
Now, let's find the least amount she will pay for 2 kg of fish. The price of fish per kg is not given, so we cannot solve this exactly. However, we can estimate the least amount by considering the price of rice.
If she paid Php 34 for 1 kg of rice, it is likely that she will pay a similar or higher price for 1 kg of fish. Therefore, the least amount she will pay for 1 kg of fish is Php 34 or more.
To find the least amount she will pay for 2 kg of fish, we multiply the price of 1 kg of fish by 2:
Least amount for 2 kg of fish = Price of 1 kg of fish * 2
Least amount for 2 kg of fish = Php 34 * 2
Least amount for 2 kg of fish = Php 68
Therefore, the least amount she will pay for 2 kg of fish, to the nearest peso, is Php 68.
