Answer 2

The weight of pulses left in the bag is 23.15kg.

Given:-

Weight of bag of pulses = 25kg

Weight of pulses fell on floor = 1850g

To Find:-

The weight of pulses left in the bag.

Solution:-

We can easily find out the weight of pulses left in the bag by using these simple steps.

As

Weight of bag of pulses (w) = 25kg

Weight of pulses fell on the floor (w1) = 1850g

Weight of pulses left in the bag (x) =?

Here, both the weights are in different units so we should first convert the weight of bag of pulses from kg to g by multiplying by 1000.

i.e.

Weight of bag of pulses = 25 × 1000 = 25000g

Now,

Weight of bag of pulses = Weight of pulses fell on floor + Weight of pulses left in the bag

Weight of pulses left in the bag = Weight of bag of pulses - Weight of pulses fell on the floor

$x = w - w1$

$x = 25000 - 1850$

$x = 23150g$

or

$x = 23.15kg$

Hence, The weight of pulses left in the bag is 23.15kg.
