Solution

The correct option is C $144
Total number of kiwis = 336
Number of kiwis in each bucket = 21

Number of buckets required = Total kiwis ÷ Number of kiwi in each bucket

Using long division to divide 336 by 21, we have:

Since the quotient is 16, there are a total of 16 buckets.

Money earned from selling 1 bucket = $$ 9$
Total money earned from 16 buckets =
$16 \times 9 = $ 144$
