Question

If Ethel buys 5 tins of groundnuts for 75k how much will she pay for 3 tins of the same kind

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

suppose x is the price of one tin of groundnut.

Given, 5 tins cost 75,000.

So, 5x = 75,000

Therefore, x = 75,000/5 = 15,000

Now price of 3 tins will be 3x = 3 x 15,000 = 45,000.

Therefore, the price of 3 tins of groundnut is 45k.
