Answer 1

a) Cost of 1 kg tomato = Rs 12
Cost of 2 kg tomatoes = Rs 2 × 12
= Rs 24

b) Cost of 1 kg tomato = Rs 12
Cost of $\frac{1}{2}$ kg tomatoes = Rs 12 ÷ 2
= Rs 6

c) Cost of 1 kg tomato = Rs 12
So, cost of $2\frac{1}{2}$ kg tomatoes = Rs 12 + Rs 12 +Rs 6
= Rs 30

d) Cost of 1 kg potato = Rs 10
Cost of $\frac{1}{2}$ kg potato = Rs 10 ÷ 2
= Rs 5

Cost of $2\frac{1}{2}$kg potato = Rs 10 + Rs 10 + Rs 5
= Rs 25

e) Cost of 1 kg carrot = Rs 18
Cost of $\frac{1}{4}$ kg carrot = Rs 18 ÷ 4
= Rs $\frac{18}{4}$

Cost of $1\frac{1}{4}$ kg carrot = Rs 18 + Rs $\frac{18}{4}$
= Rs $22\frac{1}{2}$

f) Cost of 1 kg gourd = Rs 8
Cost of $\frac{3}{4}$ kg gourd = Rs 6

Cost of $4\frac{3}{4}$ kg gourd = Rs 8 × 4 + Rs 6
= Rs 32 + Rs 6
= Rs 38

g) Cost of 1 kg potato = Rs 10
Cost of $\frac{1}{4}$ kg potato = Rs 10 ÷ 4
= Rs $\frac{10}{4}$

Cost of $2\frac{1}{4}$ kg potato = Rs 10 × 2 + Rs $\frac{10}{4}$

= Rs $\frac{9}{4}\times 10$

= Rs $\frac{45}{2}$

= Rs $22\frac{1}{2}$
