Question

A peach weighs 65 grams. If you buy 10 peaches and they sell for $5.50 per kilogram, how much will they cost?

Answer 1

$Weight \: of \: a \: Peach = 65 \: grams$

$Weight \:of \: 10 \: Peaches = 10 \times 65 gm \\= 650 \:grams$

$Cost \: of \: 1 \: kg \: Peach = \ 5.50$

$Cost \: of \: 1000 \: grams \: Peach = \ 5.50$

$Cost \: of \: 650\:grams \: Peach\\ = \frac{ 5.50 \times 650 }{1000} \\= \frac{3575}{1000} \\= \ 3.575$

Therefore.,

$\red{ Cost \: of \: 650\:grams \: Peach}\green {= \ 3.575}$
