Answers
Answer:
She had made 19 bottles in Total
the total weight of the jam she made = 4.75 kg
Step-by-step explanation:
Sakshi prepared some jam at home and filled it in bottles.
She gave 7 of bottles to her Freiends
Let say she had = B bottles
Then bottles of Jam left after giving away 7 = B - 7
B - 7 = 12
=> B = 19
She had made 19 bottles in Total
she filled 250g of jam in each bottle,
Total Wt of Jam she made = 250 * 19 gm
250 * 19/100 kg
= 19/4 kg
= 4.75 kg
the total weight of the jam she made = 4.75 kg
Step-by-step explanation:
The Solution can be done this way: –
Let Sakshi made x jam bottles
Thus,
x – 7 = 12
x – 7 + 7 = 12 + 7 ….. ( Since, adding both sides by 7)
We get,
x = 19
Since,
for 1 bottle = 250 g jam
Thus,
for 19 bottle = 19 * 250 = 4750 gm of jam
Hence, sakshi made 19 bottles and it’s weight is 4750 gm.
