Question

Murugan bought some bags of vegetables. Each bag weighs 20.55 kg. If the total weight of all the bags is 308.25 kg, how many bags did he buy?

Answer 1

Total weight of all bags = 308.25 kg

Weight of 1 bag = 20.55 kg

∴ Number of bags = `"Total weight"/"Weight of 1 bag"`

= `308.25/20.55`

= `((30825/100))/((2055/100))`

= `30825/100 xx 100/2055`

= `30825/2055`

= `2055/137`

= 15

∴ He bought 15 bags.

           15
`137")"overline2055`
        137
        685
        685
