Question

Mrs lim bought apples at a cost of $150 from the wholesaler. If she sells 1 pace of 5 apples at $2.40, what is the least number of apples she must sell in order to make a profit?

I am kind of sure I need to use HCF(highest common factor) in this question.. I might be wrong though?

Answer 1

sells for 2.40/5 = .48 per apple

.48 x = 150
x = 313 apples or 63 packs

Answer 2

Thanks!

Answer 3

of course if you can not split a pack, it is 63*5 = 315 apples
