Question

If meat costs R74,00 per 1,5 kg what is the cost per gram (to the nearest cent)

Answer 1

To calculate the cost per gram, we need to convert 1.5 kg to grams.

1 kilogram is equal to 1000 grams. So, 1.5 kg is equal to 1.5 x 1000 = 1500 grams.

Now, we can calculate the cost per gram.

Total cost of 1.5 kg meat = R74.00
Cost per gram = Total cost / Total grams
Cost per gram = R74.00 / 1500 grams

Using a calculator, we find that the cost per gram is approximately R0.049.
