Question

Ice cream beans are selling for $10 per pound and durians are selling for $9 per pound. If the market sold a total of $196 worth of durians and ice cream beans yesterday, and it sold 11 pounds of durian, which of the following is a good estimation of the total pounds of ice cream beans sold?

Answer 1

I am not good at word problems but I think I found some good examples

Explanation:

Durain beans cost $9 per pound and they sold 11 pounds.

Multiply the cost by the amount sold: 9 x 11 = $99

Subtract that from the total sold:

196 - 99 = $97

Now divide the amount left by the cost per pound for Ice cream beans:

97 / 10 = 9.7 pounds.
