A shopkeeper stocks 1980 peaches and 120 five-kilogram bags of apples.what is the total mass of this fruit in kilograms? And what income will she get if she sells all of this fruit?

Answer 1

The total mass of the peaches can be found by multiplying the quantity (1980) by the average mass per peach. Let's assume that the average mass per peach is 0.2 kilograms.

Mass of peaches = 1980 peaches * 0.2 kilograms/peach = 396 kilograms

The total mass of the bags of apples can be found by multiplying the quantity (120) by the mass per bag (5 kilograms).

Mass of apples = 120 bags * 5 kilograms/bag = 600 kilograms

To find the total mass of all the fruit, we add the mass of peaches and the mass of apples.

Total mass = Mass of peaches + Mass of apples = 396 kilograms + 600 kilograms = 996 kilograms

Therefore, the total mass of the fruit is 996 kilograms.

To find the income from selling all the fruit, we need to multiply the total mass (996 kilograms) by the price per kilogram.

Let's assume the price per kilogram for all the fruit is $2.

Income = Total mass * Price per kilogram = 996 kilograms * $2/kilogram = $1992

Therefore, the shopkeeper will get an income of $1992 if she sells all the fruit.
