Question

A coffee shop sells bags of coffee for

$9.90 per kilogram. Each bag holds 0.5 kilogram of coffee.
How many bags of coffee do they sell if they earn $702.90?
Explain your answer.

Answer 1

142 bags

Explanation:

0.5KG is half of a KG, so we can start by finding half of $9.90

$9.90/2 being $4.95

So each bag is $4.95

The total is $702.90

Dividing $702.90/$4.95 will equal the number of bags

702.9/4.95=142 bags
