Question

Juan sold fruit baskets for $16.50 each and pencils for $1.50 each. His goal is to sell $300.00 worth of goods to pay for his trip’s cost.

How many fruit baskets will Juan need to sell the last three weeks to achieve his goal?

fruit baskets

Answer 1

He will need to sell 11 fruit baskets

If Juan sells 81 pencils at $1.50 each, that equals $121.50, and since he needs $300 you subtract $121.50 from that. Giving you a remaining $178.50

With $178.50 remaining, you divide this number by the fruit basket’s value of $16.50, to give you 10.81818181…

You round this number up to 11

Answer 2

11 fruit baskets !!!!!! :))))))))
