Question

Mrs. Wu bought 1.6 kg of potatoes. She used 350 g of it to make potato chips and some amount to make cutlets. She was left with 250 g. Which of the following gives the correct amount of potatoes used to make cutlets?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1kg

Step-by-step explanation:

1.6kg=1600g

1600g-350g=1250g

1250g-250g=1000g OR 1kg

Answer 2

Answer:

80% of potatoes left after making chips were used to make cutlets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total weight of potato = 1.6kg = 1600g

Weight used to make potato chips = 350g

Weight of potato left = 1600g-350g = 1250g ---- (A)

Weight left after making cutlets = 250g ---- (B)

Thus, weight used for cutlets = (A)-(B) = 1250 g-250 g = 1000g
