Monica grows coconuts and catches fish. Last year she harvested 1500 coconuts and 600 fish. She values one fish as having a worth of three coconuts. She gave Rachel 300 coconuts and 100 fish for helping her to harvest coconuts and catch fish, all of which were consumed by Rachel. In terms of fish, Monica's income would equal:

Answer :

Answer:

900 fish

Explanation:

She values 1 fish = 3 coconuts

Harvested:

Fish = 600

Coconut=1500

Hence, converting coconut to fish

1500 coconuts = 500 fishes

Total harvested is 600fish +500fish =1,100

Gave Rachel :

Fish =, 100

Coconut = 300 which is approximately 100 fishes

Rachel got 200 fishes worth

Subtracting to get her income:

Harvested - Rachel's collection

= 1,100 - 200 =900

Answer:

1,100 Fish

Explanation:

GDP(Income)= Income of Monica + Income of Rachel

Monica's Income = (1500-300)Coconuts + (600-100) Fish

Rachel's Income = 300 Coconuts + 100 Fish

Therefore

GDP = 1500 Coconuts + 600 Fish

Total numbers of fish harvested 500 Fish + 600 Fish

= 1100 Fish
