To find the price of 500 grams of apples, we first need to determine the price per kilogram.
-
A 5 kg bag costs R65. Therefore, the price per kilogram is: \[ \text{Price per kg} = \frac{R65}{5 \text{ kg}} = R13 \text{ per kg} \]
-
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.
