Question

A supermarket has 24 cartons of 60 peaches each. The peaches are packed into bags of 12 each. Each bag of peaches is sold for $5. How much money was collected from selling all the bags of peaches?

Answer 1

$600

Explanation:

Let's start by figuring out how many peaches we have in total.

24 × 60 = 1440 peaches

We know that the peaches are packed into bags of 12 each. So, dividing 1440 peaches by 12, we get...

1440 ÷ 12 = 120 bags

Finally, each bag was sold for 5 dollars. Multiplying the 120 bags by 5 dollars each gives us...

120 × 5 = $600
