A 5kg bag of apples cost R65.What will the price of 500g apples be?

1 answer

To find the price of 500 grams of apples, we first need to determine the price per kilogram.

  1. A 5 kg bag costs R65. Therefore, the price per kilogram is: \[ \text{Price per kg} = \frac{R65}{5 \text{ kg}} = R13 \text{ per kg} \]

  2. Now, we need to find the price for 500 grams, which is 0.5 kg: \[ \text{Price for 500g} = 0.5 \text{ kg} \times R13 \text{ per kg} = R6.50 \]

So, the price of 500 grams of apples will be R6.50.
