thus 2x =750

therefore x =375

thus option (a) would be ur ans hope it helps

and mark me brainliest

Answer 2

Convert 1kg to g:

1kg = 1000g

First remove 250 g from both sides:

weight of the right hand side = 1000 - 250 = 750g

Find the weight of 1 mango:

2 mangoes = 750 g

1 mango = 750 ÷ 2 = 375 g

Answer: The weight of one mango is 375 g
