Question

A jar has 2 kg salt in it. If 300 g salt is taken out, then find the amount of salt left in the jar.

• A. 1500 g
• B. 1700 g
• C. 288 g
• D. 302 g

Answer 1

The correct option is B 1700 g

We know that 1 kg = 1000 g.

The jar has 2 kg salt.
2 kg = 2000 g
Therefore, the jar has 2000 g of salt.

Amount of salt taken out = 300 g
Amount of salt left
= 2000 g - 300 g
= 1700 g

Therefore, salt left in the jar is 1700 g.
