I) Find the weight of the wastage.
II) Find the weight and percentage of rice cultivated.
III) If the area has been increased 40 times in size, how much rice will be cultivated
(excluding the wastage)

Answer 1

Answer:

1) 235

2) total weight 1000 kg and percent of rice76.5

3) 40000 kgs

Step-by-step explanation:

given that the wastage is 23.5 %

assume that the rice is 76.5%

and it is also given that 765 kgs of rice were produced. so 76.5 %of produce is 765.

so a total of 1000kgs was produced.

wastage is 23.5%of 1000i.e 235kgs

if the land size is increased 40times. the output too will increase by the same so total output would be 1000*40=40000
