Question

Beth went to the market and bought 1.5 kg of sugar for ₹ 25. How much would she have to pay for 500 gm.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1kg = 1000gm

1.5kg = 1.5*1000 = 1500gm

1500gm costs Rs. 25.

So, 500gm would cost Rs. x.

According to Unitary Method,

x = 500*25/1500

x = 8.33

Answer 2

Answer:

1.5 kg =1.5×1000 gm

=1500gm

cost of 1500 gm sugar = RS.25

cost of 1 gm sugar =RS.25/1500

=RS.1/60

cost of 500gm sugar =RS. 1/60×500

=500/60

=100/12

=RS.8.33
