A shopkeeper sold $12.750$ kg of sugar one a day. On the next day he sold $38.250$ kg of sugar. On the third day he sold $50.500$ kg of sugar. How much of sugar in all did the shopkeeper sell altogether?

• A. $100$ kg
• B. $202.5$ kg
• C. $102.5$ kg
• D. $101.5$ kg

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

$101.5$ kg

Sugar sold by the shopkeeper on the first day = $12.750kg$

Sugar sold by the shopkeeper on the second day = $38.250kg$

Sugar sold by the shopkeeper on the third day = $50.500kg$

Hence the shopkeeper sold = $(12.750+38.250+50.500)kg=101.5kg$
