Question

which is a better buy : 12 kg potatoes for RS 132 or 16 potatoes of RS 168?

Answer 1

Answer:

168. Therefore, we can clearly see that the deal second is the better deal. Hence, 16 kg of potatoes for Rs. 168 is better

Answer 2

Answer:

The price for the 12 Kg of potatoes is for Rs.132.

Now we will find the price of the potatoes per Kg for this first deal. Therefore, we get

Price of the potatoes per Kg in first deal 

=13212

Price of the potatoes per Kg in first deal =132/12=Rs.11

In the second deal the price for the 16 Kg of potatoes is for Rs.168.

Now we will find the price of the potatoes per Kg for this second deal. Therefore, we get

Price of the potatoes per Kg in second deal 

=16816

Price of the potatoes per Kg in second deal = 168/16 =Rs.10.50

Therefore, we can clearly see that the deal second is the better deal.

Hence, 16 kg of potatoes for Rs.168 is better.
