Question

The cost of $5kg$ of wheat is $₹91.50$. What quantity of wheat can be purchased in $₹183$?

Answer 1

Let us calculate the quantity of wheat purchased in$₹183$

Quantity of wheat purchased in $₹91.50=5kg$

Hence, wheat purchased in $₹1=\frac{5}{91.50}kg$

Therefore, wheat purchased in$₹183=\left(\frac{5}{91.50}\right)\times 183$

$=10kg$

Therefore, we can say that the cost of$8kg$ of wheat is $₹146.40$, and the quantity of wheat purchased in $₹183=10kg$.
