Question

Varna bought 4 packets of peanuts , each weighing 250.50 gms . Shruthi bought 3 packets of peanuts, each weighing 330.85 gms . Who bought more peanut by weight and by how much

Answer 1

Answer :

Given : Varna bought 4 packets of peanuts , each weighing 250.50 gm , So

Total weight of peanuts bought by Varna = 250.50 $\times$ 4 = 1002 gm

And , Shruthi bought 3 packets of peanuts, each weighing 330.85 gm , So

Total weight of peanuts bought by Shurthi = 330.85 $\times$ 3 = 992.55 gm

Here we can see that Varna bought more peanuts ( in weight ) .

Therefore ,

Varna bought more peanut by weight = 1002 - 992.55 = 9.45 gm ( Ans )
