Question

A shopkeer sold3/7 of 8kg 750g of his vegetables in the morning and 7/10 of the remaining in the evening . How much more of the vegetables in gram did he sell in the morning than in the evening?

Answer 1

Let the amount of vegetables sold by him in the morning be x
given that the total weight is 8 kg 750 g=8750g
therefore, x=3/7 of 8750g
= 3750 g
also, let the amont of vegetables sold in the evening be y
now, as we know that the remaing weight of the vegetables is 3750 g
therefore y= 7/10 of 3750 g
= 2499g
therefore, the amount of vegetables he sold more in the morning than in the evening
= (3750-2499)= 1251 g
