Answer 1

Answer:

No. of packets= 11

Cost of each packet= 152.68

Step-by-step explanation:

No.of packets-

Total mass of wheat = (25+16.25) = 41.25kg.

Now, mass of one packet = 3750g= 3.75 kg

So, total no. of packets= 41.25/3.75= 11

Hence, total no. of packets = 11

Cost of each packet

Cost of 25kg wheat @ of Rs.39.23/kg

= 39.23×25 = Rs.980.75

And,

Cost of 16.25 kg wheat@ of Rs.43/kg

= 16.25×43= Rs. 698.75

Now,

Total cost = 980.75+698.75= Rs . 1679.5

Since, no. of packets= 11

So, Cost of each packet= Rs.1679.5/11

=Rs. 152.68
