A 5kg bag of apples cost R65. What is the cost of 500grams of apples
To find the cost of 500 grams of apples, we first need to determine the price per kilogram of the apples. We can then use this price to calculate the cost of 500 grams.
Given that a 5kg bag of apples costs R65, we can divide the total cost by the weight in kilograms to find the price per kilogram.
Price per kilogram = Total cost / Weight in kilograms
Price per kilogram = R65 / 5kg
Price per kilogram = R13 per kg
Now that we have the price per kilogram, we can calculate the cost of 500 grams of apples by multiplying the price per kilogram by the weight in kilograms.
Cost of 500 grams = Price per kilogram * Weight in kilograms
Cost of 500 grams = R13/kg * 0.5kg
Cost of 500 grams = R6.50
Therefore, the cost of 500 grams of apples is R6.50.
