Answer 1

Answer:

=Rs. 4812.50.

Explanation:

Let the cost of each bag be x

According to the question

25x=2750

⇒x=  

25

2750

​

 

⇒x=110

Cost of 40 kg's wheat =110

Cost of 1 kg wheat =  

40

110

​

 

=  

4

11

​

 

Now, we have to find the cost of 50 kg

∴ cost =50×  

4

11

​

 

=  

4

550

​

 

=Rs. 137.5

Now, the cost of 35 bags

=35×137.5

=Rs. 4812.50.
