Solution

Step 1. Finding the sum of weights of potatoes, onions, and tomatoes:
Given,
The weight of potatoes $= 3 k g 450 g = 3.450 k g (S i n c e 1000 g = 1 k g, s o 450 g = 0.450 k g)$
The weight of onions $= 2 k g 10 g = 2.010 k g$
The weight of tomatoes $= 1 k g 750 g = 1.750 k g$
The sum of the weights of potatoes, onions, and tomatoes $= 3.450 + 2.010 + 1.750$
$= 7.210 k g$
So, the sum of weights of potatoes, onions, and tomatoes is $7.210 k g$ .
Step 2. Finding the weight of green vegetables:
Given the total weight of vegetables $= 10 k g$
The weight of green vegetables $=$ Total weight of vegetables $-$ Sum of weights of potatoes, onions, and tomatoes.
$= 10 - 7.210$
$= 10.000 - 7.210$
$= 2.790 k g$
$= 2 k g 790 g$
Hence, the weight of green vegetables is $2 k g 790 g$ .
