A 5 kilogram bag of apples costs R65.What is the cost of 500 grams of apples

1 answer

To find the cost of 500 grams of apples, we first need to determine the cost per kilogram and then use that to find the cost for 500 grams.

  1. Determine the cost per kilogram:

    • A 5 kilogram bag of apples costs R65.
    • The cost per kilogram is: \[ \text{Cost per kg} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Weight in kg}} = \frac{65}{5} = R13 \text{ per kg} \]

  2. Calculate the cost for 500 grams:

    • Since 500 grams is half a kilogram (0.5 kg), we can calculate the cost: \[ \text{Cost for 500g} = \text{Cost per kg} \times 0.5 = R13 \times 0.5 = R6.50 \]

Therefore, the cost of 500 grams of apples is R6.50.
