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?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$16.50 pencils

$1.50each

add 16+1=17  

then add 50+50=100  

so the answer is $17.100

Juan needs to sell 18 fruit baskets and 2 pencils to achieve his goal.

How to calculate the number of items from their total price and each price?

The number of items = (total price for the items)/(each price of the required item)

Calculation:

Given that,

Price of a fruit basket = $16.50

Price of a pencil = $1.50

His goal is to achieve $300

So,

The number of fruit baskets required to sell by the Juan = 300.00/16.50

⇒ 18.18 (rounding off)

⇒ 18 fruit baskets

And

Then 2 more pencils are to be sold to achieve his goal.

Therefore, 18 fruit baskets need to be sold by Juan.
