Find the cost of 60 tonnes of cocoa at 25 per 100-kg sack

4 answers

100 kg = .1 tonnes

let x = # of sacks.

.1x = 60

Find x, then multiply that value by 25 (whatever unit you are using).

I need an answer
Using the conversion factor from kilograms to tonnes (1 tonne = 1000 kg):

1 sack = 100/1000 = 0.1 tonnes

So, to get 60 tonnes of cocoa, we need:

60/0.1 = 600 sacks

The cost of 1 sack is $25, so the cost of 600 sacks will be:

600 x $25 = $15,000

Therefore, the cost of 60 tonnes of cocoa at $25 per 100-kg sack is $15,000.
