Acades bought 50 tonnes of paddy rice from its farmers at 800 per Kg. They were packed in bags of 50kgs. Its Farmers also repaid its loan of 4 tonnes hence they took 3,000,000 to buy some farm equipment. Since the paddy rice had a high moisture content they (Acades) decide to dry the first 4 tonnes to observe how many kgs/ bags will be lost. After drying they get 77 bags and 17.3 kgs.

Question

1. How many bags of 50kgs in 50 tonnes?
2. After drying 50T how many bags will get lost?

Answer 1

1. To find out how many bags of 50kgs are in 50 tonnes, we need to convert tonnes to kgs and then divide by 50.

Since there are 1000 kgs in one tonne, 50 tonnes is equal to 50,000 kgs.

Therefore, the number of bags of 50kgs in 50 tonnes is 50,000 kgs / 50kgs = 1000 bags.

2. To find out how many bags will be lost after drying 50 tonnes, we need to subtract the number of bags obtained after drying from the number of bags before drying.

From the given information, we know that 77 bags and 17.3 kgs were obtained after drying 4 tonnes. We need to convert the 4 tonnes to kgs to make it consistent.

Since there are 1000 kgs in one tonne, 4 tonnes is equal to 4,000 kgs.

Now, we can find out how many bags were obtained before drying by dividing 4,000 kgs by 50kgs = 80 bags.

Therefore, the number of bags lost after drying 50 tonnes is 80 bags - 77 bags = 3 bags.
