Question

if 24 kg of rice costs Rupees 400, then how many kgs of rice can be bought for rupees 100​

Answer 1

Answer:

6 Kg of rice can be brought with rupees 100.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

That’s a good question. The answer is: nobody really knows. Companies reward larger purchases. It’s one of the near-universal truths of the economics world. Let’s not go into limited edition stuff, or stuff where demand actually > supply. That’s not a luxury most businesses can afford. You see, getting 10% off the second bottle is a win-win. On the consumer side, if they do need two bottles, then they’re saving 10% of the cost of one bottle. But for the company, they’re perfectly happy with this because it means getting 90% more from the transaction.

Now, 25kg of rice costs 560 rupees. By simply dividing directly, we get 22.4 rupees as the answer, but that’s not really satisfactory is it? Personally, I feel it’s far more likely to be something along the lines of 25 rupees. It does really depend on the context.
