To find the cost of 500 grams of apples, we first need to determine the cost per kilogram.
-
A 5 kg bag costs R65.
-
Therefore, the cost per kg is: \[ \text{Cost per kg} = \frac{R65}{5 \text{ kg}} = R13 \text{ per kg} \]
-
Now, we need to calculate the cost of 500 grams, which is 0.5 kg: \[ \text{Cost of 500 grams} = 0.5 \text{ kg} \times R13 \text{ per kg} = R6.50 \]
So, the cost of 500 grams of apples is R6.50.
