To find out the cost of 14kg of apples, we can set up a proportion using the given information:
4kg of apples cost £2.50.
Let x be the cost of 14kg. Then:
4kg / £2.50 = 14kg / x
Cross-multiplying gives us:
4kg * x = £2.50 * 14kg
Simplifying, we have:
4x = £35
Dividing both sides by 4:
x = £35 / 4
x = £8.75
Therefore, 14kg of apples would cost £8.75.
