Question

Lennox owns a big apple orchard. She ships her apples to various markets using a fleet of trucks. Every week, each truck goes on 3 trips, and for each trip Lennox gets 300 dollars. On a single trip, a truck delivers 50 packs, and each pack contains 12 kilograms of apples. Overall, Lennox sells 4500 dollars worth of apples in a week. How much does Lennox get for a single kilogram of apples?

Answer 1

Answer:

  $0.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Each trip transports 50 packs at 12 kg each, for a total of 600 kg. That trip nets $300 in income.

Lennox gets paid ($300)/(600 kg) = $0.50/kg, or 50¢ for 1 kg of apples
