Question

Dennis bought some flour. He used 27 kg and packed the rest equally into 11 bags of 7 kg each. how much flour did he have at first ?

Answer 1

Answer:

He had 104 kg of flour at first...

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all... It is given that he used 27 kg of flour.

He then packed 11 bags of flour consisting 7kg of flour in each pack.

So, we can say that 11×7= 77

Because, as of he packed 7kg of flour per bag and total number of bags are 11... So, by multiplying total number of bags with how much he packed per bag, we can bring out the total amount of flour he packed. Now, as I stated that he used up 27 kg of flour, so if we just add up the amount of used flour with the amount of packed flour,we can take out that how much flour he had in first place.. so, 27 kg+ 77 kg= 104 kg of flour.

So, we can say that Dennis had 104 kg of flour in the first place.

hope this works
