Answer 1

ANSWER:

• 18 apples were selected in each category.

GIVEN:

• Ajay selected equal number of apples in each category in which each of the apple weighed 65g, 95g and 115g.

• The total weight of all such apples is 4.95kg.

TO FIND:

• Number of apples in each category.

EXPLANATION:

• There are three categories as follows 65g, 95g and 115g.

• Apples are taken in equal amount from each category.

• Let the number of apples in each category be x.

• Also 4.95 kg = 4950 g(1 kg = 1000 g)

• 65x + 95x + 115x = 4950

• 275x = 4950

• 11x = 198

• x = 18

• Therefore 18 apples were selected in each category.
