Answer 1

Given :

• Cost of each toy assembled by Fiona = 85 cents

a) total amount of money she earns for assembling

• (i)146 toys
• = cost of one toy x no. of toys she assembled
• = 85cents x 146
• = 12,410 cents or $124.10

• (ii)203 toys
• = cost of one toy x no. of toys she assembled
• = 85cents x 203
• = 17,255 cents or $172.55

b) total no. of toys assembled by Fiona by earning:

• $459

convert $459 into cents

• $459 = 459 x 100 = 45,900 cents

divide the sum by the cost of a single toy

• = 45900cents/85cents
• = 540 toys

hence, she assembled 540 toys and earned $459 out of them.

c) no. of toys she must assemble to earn

• (i) $200

convert the sum into cents

• $200 = 20,000 cents

divide the sum by the cost of a single toy

• 20,000cents/85cents
• = 235 toys

hence, she must assemble 235 toys in order to earn $200

• (ii) $620

convert the sum into cents

• $620 x 100 = 62,000 cents

divide the sum by the cost of a single toy

• 62,000cents/85cenfs
• = 729 toys

hence,she must assemble 729 toys in order to earn $620
