The price of 1kg rice is 5 rupees more than the price of 1kg sugar. The price of 1kg wheat is 8 rupees less than the price of 1kg sugar. The total price of 4kg rice, 3kg sugar and 2kg wheat is 499 rupees. If the price of 1kg sugar is taken as x,

​

Answer 1

We know that 1kg=1000gm.

It is given that the cost of 1kg sugar is Rs.18 which means that the cost of 1000g sugar is Rs.18 then cost of one gram sugar will be:

1000

18

=0.018

Therefore, 1gm sugar costs Rs.0.018.

Now, the cost of 250gms of sugar will be as follows:

Cost×number of grams=0.018×250=4.5

Hence, the cost of 250gms of sugar is Rs.4.5.
