Q2) A grocer sold 4785 oranges and 7090 kg of tomatoes in a year.
Oranges were sold in bags of 3 for $5 and every kilogram of tomatoes
was sold for $6. How much did he receive altogether in a year?
Solution.
No of oranges sold = 4785
No of bags = 3
4785 ÷ 3=1595
The grocer sold 1595 bags of 3 oranges.
1595 x $5 = $7975
The grocer received $7975 from the sale of oranges.
7090 x $6 = $ 42 540
The grocer received $ 42 540 from the sale of tomatoes.
$ 7975 + $ 42 540 = $ 50 515
The grocer received $ 50 515 altogether.

Q2) Mr.Toh is paid $2720 to work 170 hours a month, excluding
overtime. He is paid twice as much each hour when he works
overtime. Mr. Toh received $4000 in September. How many hours of
overtime did he work in September?
Solution:
Mr. Toh is paid = $ 2720
No of hours = 170
$ 2720 ÷ 170=16
He is getting $16 for one hour.
When he works overtime he is paid twice.
$16 x 2 = $32
$4000 −¿ $2720 = $1280
$1280 he got for overtime.
$1280 ÷ 32=40 hours
He worked 40 hours of overtime.
Q) The total cost of air tickets to Europe for 2 adults and 4 children
was $4940. Each child ticket cost $520 less than an adult ticket. What
was the cost of an adult ticket?
Solution.
Total cost of air tickets to Europe for 2 adults and 4 children = $4940
Total cost of an adult ticket = ?
Each child ticket cost less than an adult ticket = $ 520÷ 4
= $ 130
$ 520 + $ 130 = $ 650
Cost of 1 child ticket $650
Cost of 4 children ticket = $ 650 x 4
= $ 2600
Total cost of air ticket – cost of children ticket = cost of 2 adult ticket
$ 4940 - $2600 = $ 2340
Cost of 1 adult ticket = $ 2340 ÷ 2=$ 1170
