Answer 1

Answer:

a =1800

b=half kg prawns and half kg squid

Answer 2

Answer:

(a)=$1800

(b)=6kg

Step-by-step explanation:

1kg prawns=$150

1kg squid=$50

(a) 10 kg Prawns=150 × 10

=$1500

6kg Squid=50 × 6

=$300

Total money he got=$1500+$300

=$1800

(b) Total money=$100

1/4 of $100 = 1/4 × 100 =1/1 × 25 =$25

3/4 of $100= 3/4 × 100 =3/1 × 25 = $75

According to question she spent $25 on squid,

So,The kg's of squid brought =150÷25

=6kg
