Question

The total weight of some bags of wheat is 1743 kg. If each bag weights 49.8 kg, how many bags are there?

Answer 1

Let the number of bags of wheat be x.

Given:

Weight of x bags = 1,743 kg

Weight of one bag = 49.8 kg

Therefore, 49.8 $\times$ x = 1,743
x = $$\begin{gathered} \frac{1743}{49.8} \\ =\frac{1743\times 10}{498} \end{gathered}$$
= 35

Thus, there are 35 bags of wheat.
