To find the cost of 25 kg of apples, we first need to determine the cost per kilogram of apples.
1. Calculate the cost per kilogram:
\[
\text{Cost per kg} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Total weight}} = \frac{262.50}{15} = 17.50 \text{ per kg}
\]
2. Now, calculate the cost of 25 kg:
\[
\text{Cost for 25 kg} = \text{Cost per kg} \times \text{Weight} = 17.50 \times 25
\]
Now, compute \( 17.50 \times 25 \):
\[
17.50 \times 25 = 437.50
\]
Therefore, the cost of 25 kg of apples is **$437.50**.
