Question

If 9 kg of sugar costs Rs. 166.50, how much sugar can be bought for Rs. 259 ?

Answer 1

Let x kg of sugar will be bought

Sugar : Cost :: Sugar : Cost

9 kg : Rs. 166.50 :: x kg : Rs. 259

(more amount, more sugar)

$\therefore x=\frac{259\times 9}{166.50}=\frac{259\times 9\times 100}{16650}=14$

$\therefore$ Sugar bought = 14 kg
