Answer 2

The correct answer is Rs $\frac{5705}{16}$ or Rs 356.562.

Given: Amount of rice bought by Barkha = $20\frac{3}{8} kg$.

Rate of rice per kg = Rs $17\frac{1}{2}$.

To Find: Total amount spent by Barkha.

Solution:

Amount of rice bought by Barkha = $20\frac{3}{8} kg$ = $\frac{163}{8}$ kg.

Rate of rice per kg = Rs $17\frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{35}{2}$.

Total amount spent = (Rate per kg) × (Amount of rice)

= $\frac{163}{8}*\frac{35}{2}$

= $\frac{5705}{16}$

= Rs 356.562

Hence, the total amount is  Rs $\frac{5705}{16}$ or Rs 356.562.
