Question

A bag contains a wheat packet weighing 3 kg 250 g and a sugar packet weighing 2 kg 275 g. What is the total weight of the bag?

• A. 5 kg 450 g
• B. 4 kg 250 g
• C. 5 kg 525 g
• D. 5 kg 550 g

Answer 1

The correct option is C 5 kg 525 g

We know,
weight of wheat packet = 3 kg 250 g,
weight of sugar packet = 2 kg 275 g

We know that 1 kg = 1000 g

So, weight of wheat packet = 3 kg + 250 g
= 3000 g +250 g
= 3250 g
weight of sugar packet = 2 kg 275 g
= 2000 g + 275 g
= 2275 g

Total weight
= Weight of sugar packet + Weight of wheat packet
= 2275 g + 3250 g
= 5525 g
= 5000 g + 525 g
= 5 kg 525 g
