Question

If a 1.00 kg bag containing eight apples cost $1.48, how much does one apple cost? what mass of apple cost $1.00?

Answer 1

Given ,

1.00 kg bag contains 8 apple

Cost of 8 apple is $1.48

...

Cost of 8 apple = $1.48

Cost of 1 apple = $\frac{1.48}{8}$

Cost of 1 apple = $0.185

...

In $1.48 we buy 1.00 kg mass

So,

$1.48 = 1.00 kg mass

$ 1.00 = $\frac{1.00}{1.48}$

$1.00 = 0.6756 kg mass

Hence $1.00 we buy 0.6756 kg mass of apple
