Question

A milk boy sold milk in packets of 250ml and 500 ml.He sold 6 l of milk in 17 packets.How many packets of each type did he sell? I want solution

Answer 1

Answer: He would sell 10 packets of milk contained 250 ml and 7 packets of milk contained 500 ml.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose,

Packets of milk of 250 ml sold= x packets

So,

Packets of milk of 500 ml sold= 17-x packets

Now, according to the question

0.250x + 0.500(17-x)= 6

0.25x + 8.5 - 0.50x = 6

0.25x= 8.5-6

x=2.5/0.25= 10

17-x= 7
