Question

Suppose vanilla beans cost $600 per kilogram. Julie bought 9 grams of vanilla beans. Jacques bought 70 grams of vanilla beans.

How much more did Jacques pay for his vanilla beans?

Answer 1

The Correct option is 36.60

Explanation:

The key to solving this question lies around measurement conversion,specifically converting grams into its equivalence in kilograms.

1000 grams equal one kilogram

9 grams=9/1000 kg

9 grams=0.009 kg

70 grams=70/1000 kg

70 grams=0.07 kg

Julie pays=$600*0.009=$5.4

Jacques pays=$600*0.07=$42

Jacques pays $36.60 more ($42-$5.4) than Julie paid

Option is wrong because that was what Julie paid

Option D is wrong because that was what Jacques paid

Option B is obviously wrong
