Question

If the carriage of goods weighing 314 kg for 300 km costs ₹ 15.70 what will be the charge for carrying 2 wagon loads of the same each weighing 1 tonne 572 kg 450 km

Answer 1

Given,

carriage of goods weighing 314 kg for 300 km costs ₹ 15.70

To find,

charge for carrying 2 wagon loads of the same each weighing 1 ton 572 kg for 450 km

Solution,

We begin with finding the cost of carrying $1kg$ of good for $1km$.

$314kg$ weight for $300km$ costs = ₹$15.70$

$314kg$ weight for $1km$ costs = ₹$\frac{15.70}{300}$

$1kg$ weight for $1km$ costs = ₹$\frac{15.70}{300*314}$

Now, $1572kg$ weight for $450km$ will cost = ₹$(\frac{15.70}{300*314})*1572*450$

As there are two wagons, the charge comes out to be,

                                       = ₹$2*(\frac{15.70}{300*314})*1572*450$ =  ₹$117.9$

Therefore, the charge for 2 wagons carrying the given load is ₹$117.9$
