Question

If a quarter kg of alphonso cost 60 paise then how many paise 200 gm cost

Answer 1

The answer is 48 paise.

Explanation:

A quarter kilogram of alphonso costs 60 paise.                                                                                                                   

Since one kilogram is 1000g, quarter kilogram is the same as 250g.

=> 250g costs 60p

Therefore, 1 gram costs 60/250 = 6/25p

Hence, 200g costs 200 * (6/25) p

Thus, 200g of alphonso costs 48 paise.

Answer 2

Before doing the calculations, we need to convert the grams to kilograms so as to work with the same units.
1kg=1000g

200/1000=0.2kg

0.25kg= 60paise

0.2=? Paise

We use cross multiplication :

0.2/0.25 ×60= 0.8 × 60=48

Answer: 48 Paise.
