Question

The cost of 15 packets of biscuits, each weighing 750 grams, is rs. 300. What will be the approximate cost of 25 packets, if each packet weighs 1kg

Answer 1

Cost of 15 packets of biscuits each weighing 750 gms is Rs.300

Now let us find total weight of 15 packets in kilograms.

Weight of 1 packet = 750 gm or 0.75 kg

Weight of 15 such packets = 0.75*15 = 11.25 kg

Price of 11.25 kg of biscuit = Rs. 300

Price of 1 kg of biscuit = 300/ 11.25 = Rs. 26.67

Now we have to find price of 25 packets each weighing 1 kg

So price of 25 kgs or 25 packets of biscuits = 26.67 *25 = Rs. 666.67

Answer: Price of 25 packets each weighing 1 kg will be Rs. 666.67

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

15×750=11250 grams

25×1000=25000 grams

25000÷750 grams =33.33 packets

15 packets = rs 300

1 packet =300÷15= rs20

33.33 packets ×20=rs666.66 approx rs667
