Question

A kiwi vendor puts 21 kiwis in each bucket from a total of 336 kiwi that he has.
If he sells each bucket for $9, find the money earned by him by selling all the buckets.

• A. $90
• B. $112
• C. $144
• D. $160

Answer 1

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 =
$16\times 9=\$144$
