Question

If cheese is $4.40 per kilogram, what should i pay for 200 grams

Answer 1

The cost is $0.88 per 200 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we will need to convert the kilograms into grams:

We know that:

1 kilogram is equivalent to 1000 grams

We are given that:

The cost per 1 kilogram is $4.4

This means that:

The cost is $4.4 for 1000 grams

To know the cost of 200 grams, all we have to do is cross multiplication as follows:

1000 grams ................> $4.4

200 grams ................> ??

Cost =
`(200*4.4)/(1000)` = $0.88 per 200 grams

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

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
`\displaystyle{ (0.2kg \cdot \$4.40)/(1kg)}=4.40 \cdot0.2 \$= 0.88\$`


Answer: $0.88
