Question

Wei Xun bought 8 pieces of chocolates and 10 lollipops for $17. The average price of a piece of chocolate was S$1. What was the average price of a lollipop?​

Answer 1

$0.90

Explanation:

If each piece of chocolate is $1, then 8 pieces is $8. Wei Xun bought 8 pieces of chocolate and 10 lollipops, which came out to $17. The chocolate was $8 total, leaving $9 for the 10 lollipops. 9/10 = 0.9. So, each lollipop was $0.90, or 90 cents.
