Answer 1

Answer:

Rs 877.40 is the answer for the given problem

Answer 2

Answer:

Rs 877.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let cost of one kg of apples, flour and rice be a, f and r respectively.

10a = 24r ---(1)

6f = 2r ---(2)

we know f = 20.50

therefore from (2) 6×20.50 = 2 × r

calculating, r=61.50

so from (1) a = 24r÷10

calculating, a=147.60

so the total cost of 4 kg apples, 3 kg rice and 5 kg flour is 4a+3r+5f

=877.40 Rs.
