Answer 1

monika bought sugar and salt in the ratio 5:4. if the total amount bought is 1800 g and cost of 200 g of sugar is rs.12. then, the total amount of sugar bought is 60 rupees

this is the process

ratios of salt and sugar are 5:4 and total weight is 1800 g that implies 9x= 1800

so x =200 that implies 200 grams

and now 5x=1000 that is equal to 1000 grams

and now 1000 grams=200×5 grams

and now the cost is 5×12=60 rupees

thus the question solved
