ANSWER

3.85kg

since, wt. of potatoes= wt. of total vegetables- (wt. of tomatoes + wt. of onions)

Given 

Total weight =10kg

Weight of onions = 3.5kg

Weight of tomatoes = 2.075kg

Let weight of potato be x

⇒3.5+2.075+x=10

⇒5.575+x=10

⇒x=10−5.575

⇒x=4.425

∴x=4kg425g

Therefore weight of potatoes =4kg 425g
