Solution
The correct option is C 5.85 kg
The amount of rice you purchased is equal to the total weights used.
We know that, 1 kg = 1000 gm
5 kg = 5000 gm
Total weight = (5000 + 500 + 250 + 100) = 5850 gm
1 gm = 0.001 kg
5850 gm = 5850 × 0.001 = 5.850 kg = 5.85 kg
5.85 kg
The amount of rice you purchased is equal to the total weights used.
We know that, 1 kg = 1000 gm
5 kg = 5000 gm
Total weight = (5000 + 500 + 250 + 100) = 5850 gm
1 gm = 0.001 kg
5850 gm = 5850 × 0.001 = 5.850 kg = 5.85 kg
