Question

An orange weighs 36 grams. If you buy 10 oranges and they sell for $4.25 per kilogram, how much will they cost?

Answer 1

$1.53

Explanation:

Weight of orange = 36 grams

Number of oranges purchased = 10

Total grams of oranges purchased :

Weight per orange * number of oranges

36 grams * 10 = 360 grams

Selling price per kg = $4.25

Price per gram = $4.25 / 1000 = $0.00425 per gram

Selling price of 360 g :

360 * $0.00425

= $1.53
