Question

A kilogram of sweet potatoes costs 25 cents more than a kilogram of tomatoes. if 3 kg of sweet potatoes costs $12.45, find the cost of a kilo of tomatoes (aud)

Answer 1

Explanation:

If a kilogram of sweet potatoes costs 25 cents more than a kilogram of tomatoes and 3 kilograms of sweet potatoes cost 12.45 you need to divide 12.45 by 3 to get the cost of 1 kilogram of sweet potatoes.

12.45/3=4.15

We then subtract 25 cents from 4.15 to get the cost of one kilogram of tomatoes because a kilogram of sweet potatoes costs 25 cents more.

4.15-.25=3.9

A kilogram of tomatoes costs 3.90$.
