Question

A container holds 600 kg of rice . 33 1/3% of rice was distributed to groceries . How many kilograms of rice remained in the container

Answer 1

`\bold{\underline{Answer : -}}`

• Amount of the rice left in container = 400kg

`\:`

`\bold{\underline{Explanation : -}}`

• (33⅓)% = (100/3)%

`\longmapsto \sf( (100)/(3) )\% * 600`

`\longmapsto \sf( ( (100)/(3) )/(100) ) * 600 \\ \longmapsto \sf\frac{ \cancel{100}}{3} * \frac{1}{ \cancel{100}} * 600 \\ \longmapsto \sf (1)/(3) * 600 = (600)/(3) = 600 /3 \\ \longmapsto \bold \red{200kg}`

Soo :

`\longmapsto \sf600kg * 200kg \\ \longmapsto \boxed{ \bold{ \underline{400kg}}}`

Answer 2

Amount left in the container is
`400\:\text{kg}`.

Explanation:

Given: A container holds
`600` kg of rice.
`33 (1)/(3) \%` of rice was distributed to groceries.

To find: How many kilograms of rice remained in the container?

Solution:

We have,

Amount of rice in the container
`=600` kg

Amount distributed to the groceries
`=33 (1)/(3) \%= (100)/(3)\%`

Therefore, amount distributed to groceries
`=(100)/(3)*(1)/(100)*600=200 \:\text{kg}`

Now, amount of rice left in the container
`=600\:\text{kg}-200\:\text{kg}=400\:\text{kg}`

Hence, amount of rice left in the container is
`400 \:\text{kg}`.
