I would use grams, because in my country watermelons are small, but if they were huge I would use kilograms
STEP 1:
BAGS OF FOUR
find number of bags needed to total 74 apples
= 74 ÷ 4 apples/bag
= 18.5 bags
*must round up to 19 bags because we cannot buy a partial bag
STEP 2:
BAGS OF FOUR
calculate price of 19 bags of 4 apples per bag
= 19 bags * $5/bag
= $95 for 19 bags of 4 apples/bag
STEP 3:
BAGS OF SIX
find number of bags needed to total 74 apples
= 74 ÷ 6 apples per bag
= 12.3333 bags needed
*must round up to 13 bags because we cannot buy a partial bag
STEP 4:
BAGS OF SIX
calculate price of 13 bags of 6 apples per bag
= 13 bags * $7 per bag
= $91 for 13 bags of 6 apples/bag
ANSWER: The smallest cost to buy 74 apples is $91.
Hope this helps! :)
