Question

A grocery store has boxes of apples and guavas. The total weight of the boxes of apples is 45 kilograms and that of the boxes of guavas is 42,525 grams. Calculate the weight of each box if the store has a total of 45 boxes of equal weight.

• A. 945 g
• B. 1945 g
• C. 1.9 g
• D. 19.45 kg

Answer 1

The correct option is B 1945 g

Total weight of the fruits = 45 kg of apples + 42,525 g of guavas

We know,
1 kg = 1000 g
45 kg = 1000 $\times$ 45 = 45,000 g

Total weight of the fruits = 45 kg of apples + 42,525 g of guavas
= 45,000 g of apples + 42,525 g of guavas
Total weight of the fruits = 87,525 g
Number of boxes = 45

$\text{Weight of each fruit box}=\frac{totalweightoffruits}{numberofboxes}$

$=\frac{87525}{45}$

= 1945 g

Hence, the weight of each fruit box is 1945 g.
