Question

if 8kg sugar coast Rs 260,how much sugar can be bought for Rs 877.50

Answer 1

1 kg sugar = Rs. 260 / 8
= Rs.32.50
then,
=Rs. 877.50 / Rs. 32.50 = 27 kg

OR

Rs. 877.50 * 8 / 260 = 27 kg sugar.....this is answer in short cut

Answer 2

8 kg sugar costs Rs 260
this implies 1 kg costs 260/8=Rs 32.5
thus Rs 32.5 gives you 1 kg of sugar
therefore from Rs 877.50 you can buy 877.50/32.5=27 kg
27 kilograms of sugar can be bought
