Question

8. There were 7 baskets of mangoes that weighed 144.2 kg. in Rec's store. By mid-day, only 1 basket was left. If the baskets had about the same weights, how many kilograms of mangoes were sold at the store? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

123.6 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

weight of 7 baskets = 144.2

then weight of one basket = 144.2/7

= 20.6 kg

in the mid-day one basket was left

then basket sold = 6

weight of baskets sold = 20.6 x 6 =123.6 kg

Answer 2

Here it is given that the weight of 7 baskets is 144.2 kg

We will first calculate the weight of 1 basket

7 baskets = 144.2 kg

1 basket = 144.2 / 7

             = 20.6 kg

Now, it is given that only 1 basket is left

This means 6 baskets are sold

Weight of 6 baskets = 6 × 20.6

                                 = 123.6 kg

Hence, 123.6 kg of mangoes were sold at the store.
