Well, let's see. If a 5kg bag of apples costs R65, then we need to find out how much 500 grams of apples would cost.
First, we have to convert 500 grams into kilograms. So, 500 grams is half of a kilogram.
Now, if the cost is for a 5kg bag of apples, we can calculate the cost per kilogram by dividing R65 by 5 (since there are 5 kilograms in the bag).
So, R65 divided by 5 is R13 per kilogram.
Since we have half a kilogram (500 grams), we simply divide the price per kilogram by 2.
Therefore, the cost of 500 grams of apples would be R6.50.
Remember, this is just a silly answer! The real cost may vary.

To find the cost of 500 grams of apples, we can use the unitary method.
Step 1: Determine the cost of 1 kilogram of apples
Since a 5kg bag of apples costs R65, we need to find the cost per kilogram. We can do this by dividing the total cost (R65) by the weight (5kg).
R65 ÷ 5kg = R13 per kilogram
Step 2: Calculate the cost of 500 grams of apples
Next, we need to find the cost of 500 grams. Since there are 1000 grams in a kilogram, we can calculate the cost by multiplying the cost of 1 kilogram by 0.5 (500 grams is half a kilogram).
R13 × 0.5kg = R6.50
Therefore, the cost of 500 grams of apples is R6.50.
