Answer:
- Rs. 17.5
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all it is important to know how to convert mixed fractions into improper fractions.
If there is a fraction 8½, it is equal to ((2*8)+1)/2 = 17/2.
Similarly, 148¾ = 595/4.
It is given that:
- 17/2 kg sugar costs Rs. 595/4
So,
- 1 kg sugar costs Rs. (595*2/17*4) = Rs. 17.5
