Question

Mangoes are sold at Rs $43\frac{1}{2}$ per kg. What is the weight of mangoes available for Rs $326\frac{1}{4}?$

Answer 1

Selling price of 1kg mango = ₹ $43\frac{1}{2}$ = ₹ $\frac{87}{2}$

Weight of mangoes at ₹ $\frac{1305}{4}=\frac{1305}{4}\times \frac{2}{87}=\frac{435}{58}=\frac{15}{2}=7\frac{1}{2}$
Hence, the weight of mangoes= $7\frac{1}{2}$ kg
