(b) Find the weight of onions he had left
(a). (b)
A. 5 5/18 kg
B. 6 7/30 kg
C. 6. 7/60 kg
D. 5. 8/9 kg
Answer:
Option C Is the correct one
Step-by-step explanation:
Total amount of onions bought by shopkeeper =1211 kg
Amount of onions in each packet =152 kg
⇒ By unitary method, total number of packets =12×211×15=6.875
∴ Total number of packets packed =6
Also, he got 0.875 packet worth of onions left. Each packet contains 152 kg of onions,
⇒ Weight of onions he had left =0.875×152=4035×152=607 kg
