Question

15 chests of tea, each containing 20 kg cost rupees 350.
What will be the price at this rate of 12 chests each containing 25 kg?

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 350

Step-by-step explanation:

15 chests each containing 20 kg cost Rs. 350

∴ 1 chest containing 20 kg cost Rs. $\dfrac{350}{15}$

∴ 1 chest containing 1 kg cost Rs. $(\dfrac{350}{15 \times 20})$

∴ 12 chests containing 25 kg cost Rs. $\dfrac{350 \times 12 \times 25}{15 \times 20}$

Hence, 12 chests containing 25 kg cost Rs. 350.

Answer 2

》15 chests tea, each containing 20 kg cost Rs.350

So, 1 chest containing 20 kg cost

=> $\dfrac{350}{15}$

=> 2.33

If 1 chest contains 1 kg cost then,

=> $(\dfrac{2.33}{20}$

=> Rs. 0.117

If 12 chests contains 25 kg cost

Then,

=> 0.117 × 12 × 25

=> Rs. 350 ____ [ ANSWER ]
