Step-by-step explanation:

Question:

The cost of 5 1/2 kg of sugar is ₹206 1/4, then find the cost of 8 1/4 kg sugar.

Rewriting the fraction into decimals the cost of 5.5 kg of sugar is 206.25, then find the cost of 8.25 kg sugar

Find the cost of 1 kg of sugar:

5.5 kg = 206.25

1 kg = 206.25 +5.5

1 kg = 18.75

Find the cost of 8.25 kg

1 kg = 18.85

8.25 kg = 8.25 x 18.85

8125 kg = 154 11/16
