It would be $3.24 so you would divide $4.86 by 3 for 3 kilograms and then multiply that by 2 or 7 or whatever you want but this answer is for 2 kilograms.

Answer:

The cost of 2 Kilograms of flour is $3.24

Explanation:

This question can be result using a rule of three, in which we know that 3 kilograms cost $4.86, then how much is the cost of 2 kilograms. So we can write as:

3 kilograms ----------------------- $4.86

2 kilograms ----------------------- x

Where x is the cost of 2 kilograms. Solving for x, we get:


x=(4.86*2)/(3) =3.24

So, the cost of 2 Kilograms of flour is $3.24
