Marta made a fruit salad with 30 strawberries and 50 grapes. Assuming each strawberry contains 6 calories and each grape contains 3 calories, and that each of her 5 family members had an equal share of the fruit salad, how many calories did each person consume from the fruit?

Answer:

it's 66 calories

Explanation:

30 x 6 = 180

50 x 3 = 150

okay so i am no math genius but i did it like this, 30 strawberries and 50 grapes would be 80 fruits. say all 5 people got an equal amount so 80/5=16. so 16 pieces would be 8 each so 8 strawberries(sb) and 8 grapes(g). sb= 6 calories and g=3 calories. 48 calories for sb and 24 for g. 72 calories each. unless i did this totally wrong
