Answer: The weight of the Apples is 160g

Explanation:

If the apples were priced at $3.50/kg, then the cost of 1 kg of apples would be $3.50.

To find out the weight of 12 apples, we can divide the total cost of $6.72 by the cost of 1 kg of apples:

$6.72 ÷ $3.50/kg = 1.92 kg

So, the weight of 12 apples is 1.92 kg.

To find the average weight of 1 apple, we can divide the total weight of the 12 apples by the number of apples:

1.92 kg ÷ 12 = 0.16 kg

Finally, we need to convert the weight of 1 apple from kilograms to grams:

0.16 kg x 1000 g/kg = 160 g

Therefore, the average weight of an apple in grams is 160 g.
