Question

If 9 kg of sugar costs 23850 how much sugar can be bought for 371

Accepted Answer

If more amount of sugar is bought the cost will also be more. Therefore it’s

directly proportional.

Let the amount of sugar be x kg, 9/238.50 = x/371

238.50 × x = 9 × 371

238.50x = 3339

x = 3339/238.5.

x = 14

∴ 14kg of sugar can be bought for ₹371.
