Question

1.Samantha sells ostrich eggs for $2 each and goose eggs for 0.50. For every dollar she earns, she spends $0.10 on feed. If she sells 5 ostrich eggs and 20 goose eggs, how much money does she have left after buying feeds

Answer 1

$18

Explanation:

Sales price of each ostrich egg = $2

Sales price of each goose egg = $0.50

Amount spent after every dollar earned = $0.10

Number of ostrich eggs sold = 5

Number of goose eggs sold = 20

To find:

Total money left after the feeds are bought?

Solution:

First of all, let us find the total money earned by Samantha.

Money earned by selling ostrich eggs =
`2* 5` = $10

Money earned by selling goose eggs =
`20* 0.50` = $10

Total money earned by selling both the eggs = 10+10 = $20

Money spent on feeding on every $1 = $0.10

Money spent on feeding on every $20 = 0.10
`*` 20 = $2

Total money left after buying feeds = $20 - $2 = $18
