In an advertisement, it was mentioned that the cost of 18 packs of washing

powder, each weighing 1.5 kg is Rs. 1242. You want to purchase 14 packs of

the same washing powder each weighing 2kg. How much will you pay in

the shop?

$\huge\boxed{\fcolorbox{orange}{pink} {Answer}}$

$18 \times 1.5kg = 27kg$

Therefore, cost of washing powder per kilo,

$\frac{₹1242}{27} =₹ 46$

$\underline{\ MY \ PURCHASE}$

$14 \times 2kg = 28kg\\ \\₹46 \times 28 = ₹1288$

Therefore I'll pay ₹1288 in the shop
