Explanation:

Hi, there!!

Here according to the question we must find the cost of 1 kg sugar.

Given that:

17/4 kg of sugar cost £68.

then 1 kg sugar costs,

=
(68)/( (17)/(4) )

after reciprocal we get,

= £68×4/17

=£16

The answer would come £16.

Therefore, The cost of 1 kg sugar is £. 16.

Hope it helps....

4 1/4 = 17/4

Cost of 17/4 kg of sugar = 68

Cost of 1 kg of sugar =68 ÷ (17/4)


= 68* (4)/(17)\\\\=4*4\\

= £ 16​
