Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, when 5 percent is lost in grinding wheat, the country has to import 20 million bags to make up of the loss,

5% of wheat = 20 million bags..(1) When only 2 percent is lost, it has to import

15 million bags,

2% of wheat = 15 million bags..(2)

From equation (1) and (2)

3% of wheat = 5 million and 100% = 500/3 = 166^2/3
