Question

A contractor bought 34 loads of soil, each weighing 12 tonnes. If the soil cost Rs23 per tonne, what was the total cost ?

Answer 1

Rs9384

Explanation:

First,

First,We need to find the cost of 1 load of soil

$no. \: of \: tonnes \: in \: 1 \: load \: of \: soil = 12$

$cost \: of \: 1 \: ton \: of \: soil = 23$

$\therefore \: cost \: of \: 12 \: tonnes \: of \: soil = 12 \times 23$

$= 276$

Now, we have to find the overall cost

$total \: no. \: of \: loads \: of \: soil = 34$

$\therefore \: cost \: of \: 34 \:l oads \: of \: soil = 276 = 34$

$= 9384$

Therefore, the total cost is Rs 9384
