Lizzy: Genevieve picked some cherries from the supermarket shelves that cost $8 per kilogram. When Genevieve reached the checkout counter, she realized she was $400 short of the total price and her friend Clarice chipped in. If Genevieve had $1600 on her, how many kilograms of cherries did she buy?.
Me: Hmmm, let me think. I think this is the detailed solution:
If Genevieve had $1600 on her, and Clarice chipped in with $400, the total cost of the cherries was $1600 + $400 = $2000. If the cherries cost $8 per kilogram, Genevieve bought $2000 / $8 = 250 kilograms of cherry. Final answer: 250.
