Answer 1

Answer:

The cost of 0.8 quintal of sugar is Rs.224

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the cost of $\frac{7}{8}$ quintal of sugar as Rs.$245$.

Then the cost of 1 quintal of sugar will be

$=245\times \frac{8}{7}$

=Rs.280

The cost of 0.8 quintal of sugar is

$=0.8\times 280$

$=224$

Answer 2

Given,

$\frac{7}{8}$ quintal of sugar cost $245$ rupees

We have to find the cost of $0.8$ of sugar

$\frac{7}{8}$ quintal of sugar $= 245$ rupees

We have to find the cost of $1$ quintal sugar

$1$ quintal sugar $= 245 \times \frac{8}{7}$

$= 279.9$

According to the question,

$0.8$ quintal of sugar $= 0.8\times 279.9$

$= 223.99$

Therefore, the cost of $0.8$ quintal of sugar is $223.99$ rupees.
