A mango weighs 200 g. How many mangoes will be in Rohit's bag if he buys 4 kg of mangoes?

The grocer sells mangoes at ₹60 per kg. What will be the cost of each mango?

In a marriage, the caterer brings 126 kg of potatoes and 87,985 g of onions. Which item weighs more and by how much?

Answer :

Sure! Let's solve this problem step-by-step.

1. Determining the Number of Mangoes:
- Each mango weighs 200 grams.
- Rohit's bag contains a total of 4 kg of mangoes, which is equivalent to 4000 grams (since 1 kg = 1000 grams).
- To find out how many mangoes are in the bag, divide the total weight by the weight of one mango:
[tex]\[
\frac{4000 \text{ grams}}{200 \text{ grams/mango}} = 20 \text{ mangoes}
\][/tex]

2. Calculating the Cost Per Mango:
- The cost of mangoes is ₹60 per kg.
- Since Rohit buys 4 kg, the total cost is:
[tex]\[
4 \text{ kg} \times ₹60 \text{ per kg} = ₹240
\][/tex]
- With 20 mangoes in total, the cost per mango is:
[tex]\[
\frac{₹240}{20 \text{ mangoes}} = ₹12 \text{ per mango}
\][/tex]

3. Comparing the Weight of Potatoes and Onions:
- The caterer brings 126 kg of potatoes. Convert this to grams:
[tex]\[
126 \text{ kg} = 126000 \text{ grams}
\][/tex]
- The caterer also brings onions weighing 87,985 grams.
- Now, compare the two weights to find out the difference:
[tex]\[
126000 \text{ grams (potatoes)} - 87985 \text{ grams (onions)} = 38015 \text{ grams}
\][/tex]
- The potatoes weigh more than the onions by 38,015 grams.

To sum up:
- Rohit's bag contains 20 mangoes.
- Each mango costs ₹12.
- Potatoes weigh more than onions by 38,015 grams.
