Question

Virendra bought $18$ bags of rice, each bag weighing $5.250kg$. How much rice did he buy altogether? If the rice costs $42$ rupees per kg, how much did he pay for it?

Answer 1

Weight of each bag of rice $=5.250kg$
Number of bags of rice bought $=18$
∴ Weight of rice bought altogether $=$ Weight of each bag of rice $\times$ Number of bags of rice bought
$=5.250kg\times 18$

$=94.5kg$
Rate of rice @ per kg $=₹42$
∴ The total amount paid for the rice $=$ Weight of rice bought altogether $\times$ Rate of rice
$=94.5kg\times ₹42$

$=₹3,969$
Thus, Virendra bought $94.5kg$ of rice altogether and the total amount paid by him is $₹3,969$.
