Apples

The fruit shop we are buying our fresh produce from sells in **__bulk.__**

Below is approximately 1/3 of a box of small pink lady apples.



How many apples do you estimate would be in that box? How many would you estimate if the apples were around twice as large?

If the box of apples cost $5 what would the unit price of each apple be?

Not an apple fan? Perhaps try some carrots. Carrots are sold in standard sized bags that you may see in Coles or Woolies. Here is an example.



But they are also sold in the SAME SIZED boxes as the apples.

How many **average sized** carrots would be in one box? If a box of carrots also cost $5, what would be the **unit price** of each carrot?

But no one is selling a full sized carrot I hear you say! How many carrot sticks could you cut from one carrot? Therefore, what would the unit price of each carrot stick be?

Need more of a challenge?

How many popcorn kernels would you estimate to be in this packet if I hadn't already popped some?

If the packet costs $1.37, how much could each piece of popcorn cost? (Did you allow for any that didn't pop?)


 * Still ready for more maths?**

What combinations of single popcorn kernels, carrot sticks and whole apples could I get is $1.75?
