Question

Srikanth is buying vegetables for the festival at home. He buys a bag of 10 lb of vegetables that costs 5500 cents. What is the cost of 1 lb of vegetables ?

• A. 250 cents
• B. 350 cents
• C. 550 cents
• D. 450 cents

Answer 1

The correct option is C

550 cents

$\frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Weight of vegetables}}=\frac{\text{5500 cents}}{10lb}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Weight of vegetables}}=\frac{\text{550 cents}}{1lb}$

So, cost of 1 lb of vegetables = 550 cents .
