Rakesh purchased a box 16 kg apples if 1.789kg were found spoiled. 10kg 50g is consumed how much weight of apples were left?
To find the weight of apples left after accounting for spoiled apples and consumed apples, we need to subtract the weight of spoiled apples and consumed apples from the total weight of the box of apples.
Step 1: Find the weight of spoiled apples:
Given, the weight of the box of apples is 16 kg, and 1.789 kg of apples were found spoiled.
Therefore, the weight of spoiled apples is 1.789 kg.
Step 2: Find the weight of consumed apples:
Given, 10 kg 50 g of apples were consumed.
1 kg = 1000 g, so 10 kg = 10,000 g.
Hence, the weight of consumed apples is 10,000 g + 50 g = 10,050 g.
Step 3: Calculate the weight of apples left:
The total weight of the box of apples is 16 kg = 16,000 g.
Subtract the weight of spoiled apples (1.789 kg = 1,789 g) and consumed apples (10,050 g) from the total weight (16,000 g) to find the weight of apples left:
16,000 g - (1,789 g + 10,050 g) = 16,000 g - 11,839 g = 4,161 g.
Therefore, there were approximately 4,161 grams (or 4.161 kg) of apples left.
