Question

Akash bought vegetable weighing$10kg$. Out of this,$3kg500g$ is onions, $2kg75g$ is tomatoes and the rest is potatoes. What is the weight of the potatoes?

Answer 1

Given : Total weight $=10kg$

Weight of onions $=3.5kg$

Weight of tomatoes $=2.075kg$

Let Weight of potatoes$=x$

Now, Total weight $=$ Weight of onion $+$ Weight of tomatoes $+$ Weight of potatoes

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow 10=3.5+2.075+x \\ \Rightarrow 10=5.575+x \\ \Rightarrow x=10-5.575 \\ \Rightarrow x=4.425kg \end{gathered}$$

Hence, The weight of the potatoes is $4.425kg$
