To find the cost of 500 grams of apples, we'll first determine the cost per kilogram and then calculate the price for 500 grams.
-
Cost of 1 kg of apples:
- The total weight of apples is 57 kg and costs R65.
- Cost per kg = Total cost / Total weight
- Cost per kg = R65 / 57 kg ≈ R1.14 (rounded to two decimal places)
-
Cost of 500 grams (0.5 kg) of apples:
- Cost for 500 grams = Cost per kg × 0.5 kg
- Cost for 500 grams ≈ R1.14 × 0.5 ≈ R0.57
Therefore, the cost of 500 grams of apples is approximately R0.57.
