To determine the cost of 500g of apples, we can use the concept of proportions.
The cost of a 5kg bag of apples is R65, which means that 1kg of apples would cost R65/5 = R13.
Now, we need to find the cost of 500g of apples. Since 1kg is equal to 1000g, we can set up a proportion:
1kg / R13 = 500g / x
Cross multiplying, we get:
x = (500g * R13) / 1kg
x = (500 * 13) / 1000
x = 6500 / 1000
x = R6.50
Therefore, the cost of 500g of apples is R6.50.
