Question

the cost of 5kg of potatoes is 3.60£ the cost of 1/2 kg of carrots is 32p. Work out the cost of 12kg of potatoes and 11/2 of carrots

Answer 1

$8.88

Explanation:

Here,

Cost of potatoes per kg = 0.72

Cost of 11 kg of potatoes = 0.72×12 = $8.64

Cost of the carrots per kg = 0.16

Cost of 1.5 kg carrot = 0.24

Total cost of the 11 kg of potatoes and 1½ kg = 8.64 + 0.24= $8.88.

Thus, the required total cost of the 11 kg of potatoes and 1½ kg of carrots is $8.88.
