Question

A man spends Rs .1810 for buying bags ay Rs.200 each and bottles at Rs.70 each.What will be the ratio of bags to bottles when maximum number of bags are bought?​

Answer 1

Answer:

8 bags= 8*200=1600

3bottles=70*3=210

1600+210=1810

Answer 2

Given:

A man spends Rs .1810 for buying bags ay Rs.200 each and bottles at Rs.70 each

To Find:

What will be the ratio of bags to bottles when a maximum number of bags are bought?​

Solution:

The ratio is a way of comparing two quantities of the same unit and is expressed as a:b is also equivalent to the fraction form of a/b.

It is given in the question that a man spends Rs .1810 for buying bags at Rs.200 each and bottles at Rs.70 each and we have to find the ratio of bags to bottles when a maximum number of bags are bought.

The ratio when a maximum of bags is bought is possible when we take the lowest value of bottles such the total becomes a multiple for the amount of bags.

When the bottle is 1,

=1810-70

=1740 (which is not multiple for 200)

When the bottle is 2,

=1810-70*2

=1670 ( which is not multiple for 200)

When the bottle is  3,

=1810-70*3

=1600 ( which is a multiple of 200)

So we will take the number of bottles as 3 and the quantity of bags will be,

$quantity=\frac{1600}{200} \\=8$

So the ratio of bags to bottles will be,

$Ratio=\frac{8}{3} \\=8:3$

Hence, the ratio is 8:3.
