Question

If cheese is $4.40 per kilogramme, what should I pay for 200 grammes?

Answer 1

1 kg is 1,000 grams.


200 grams are 1/5 of 1000 grams, that is 1/5 of 1 kg.

Thus 200 g= 1/5 kg = 0.2 kg.



1 kg of cheese is $4.40,

so 0.2 kg of cheese is 0.2kg x $4.40/1kg=4.40 x 0.2 $= 0.88$


Answer: $0.88

Answer 2

Cost of 200 gram chess = $0.88.

Explanation:

Given : If cheese is $4.40 per kilogram.

To find : What should I pay for 200 gram.

Solution : We have given

Cost of 1000 gram chess = $4.40.

Cost of 1 gram chess =
`(4.40)/(1000)`.

Cost of 200 gram chess =
`(4.40)/(1000)* 200`.

= $0.88.

Therefore, Cost of 200 gram chess = $0.88.
