Suppose vanilla beans cost $600 per kilogram. Julie bought 9 grams of vanilla beans. Jacques bought 70 grams of vanilla beans.

How much more did Jacques pay for his vanilla beans?

A. 5.40
B. 12.00
C. 36.60
D. 42.00


Sagot :

The Correct option is 36.60
Step-by-step explanation:
The key to solving this question lies
around measurement
conversion,specifically converting
grams into its equivalence in
kilograms.
1000 grams equal one kilogram
9 grams=9/1000 kg
9 grams=0.009 kg
70 grams=70/1000 kg 1000 grams equal one kilogram
9 grams=9/1000 kg
9 grams=0.009 kg
70 grams=70/1000 kg
70 grams=0.07 kg
Julie pays=$600*0.009=$5.4
Jacques pays=$600*0.07=$42
Jacques pays $36.60 more ($42-
$5.4) than Julie paid
Option is wrong because that was Jacques pays=$600*0.07=$42
Jacques pays $36.60 more ($42-
$5.4) than Julie paid
Option is wrong because that was
what Julie paid
Option D is wrong because that was
what Jacques paid
Option B is obviously wrong
