Answer:
Shopkeeper didn't get the correct weight.
Correct weight would be 1.03 kg
Step-by-step explanation:
Atul ordered for 1 kg 30 g rice.
So Atul ordered the quantity
= 1 kg 30 gm
= 1 kg + 30 gm
= 1000 gm + 30 gm
= 1030 gm [ Say w1 ]
The shopkeeper weighed 1.30 kg rice.
So shopkeeper weighted the quantity
= 1.30 kg
= 1.30 × 1000 gm
= 13/10 × 1000 gm
= 13 × 100 gm
= 1300 gm [ Say w2 ]
Clearly, w1 < w2
=> Shopkeeper didn't get the correct weight.
The correct weight is
= 1030 gm
= 1030/1000 kg
= 1.03 kg
