Question

10 kg of rice costs rupees 160.Find the cost of 6kg of rice?

Answer 1

Answer:

RS 96

Step-by-step explanation:

It's given that 10 kg rice costs RS 160. Assume the cost of 6 kg rice to be y.

Then,

10 : 160

6 : y (according to Ratio and Propositions)

By cross-multiplying we get,

10y = (160)(6)

y = $\frac{(160)(6)}{10}$

y = 96

Answer 2

Answer:

Rs. 96

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of 10 kg of rice = Rs. 160

∴ Cost of 1 kg of rice = 160 ÷ 10 = Rs. 16

∴ Cost of 6 kg of rice = 16 × 6 = Rs. 96

So cost of 6 kg of rice will be Rs. 96.
