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

8l25 kg = ₹154 11/16

Answer: ₹154 11/16
