thanks! and would you know how to work out: peter picks apples at an orchard and is paid $9.80 per 5kg bag that he fills. In one week he picked 420kg of apples. What was he paid for the week?

jigglypuff314 · Answer

9.8 per 5kg bag
9.8 / 5  = 1.96
means  1.96 per 1kg
then   cost = 420 times 1.96 times 1 = ?
