Weight of 1 apple = 250 g
Weight of 6 apples = 250 * 6
= 1.5 kg
Initial weight = 14.5 - 1.5
= 13 kg
Number of apples in his carton initially :
= 13000/250
=52 apples
Weight of 6 apples = 250 * 6
= 1.5 kg
Initial weight = 14.5 - 1.5
= 13 kg
Number of apples in his carton initially :
= 13000/250
=52 apples

*The weight of the carton is not taken into consideration
Weight of 1 apple = 250g
Find the weight of 6 apples:
1 apple = 250g
6 apples = 250 x 6 = 1500g
Find the weight before the 6 apples are added:
14.5 kg = 14500g
14500 - 1500 = 13000g
Find the number of apples initially:
Number of apples = 13000 ÷ 250 = 52
Answer: There were 52 apples in the carton.
