Answer:

x = 4/25

Step-by-step explanation

Amount of tangerines in bags sold = 25kg

If a customer bought 4kg of tangerines, the number of bags he bought is expressed as x;

4 kg = x bags

25 kg = 1 bag

Cross multiply

25 x = 4 * 1

25x = 4

Divide both sides by 25

25x/25 = 4/25

x = 4/25

Hence the required equation is x = 4/25
