The cost of 4 kg apples is ₹ 124. What is the cost of 8 kg apples?

Answer :

To find the cost of 8 kg of apples, we can use a simple proportion based on the information that 4 kg costs ₹124.

First, we need to determine the cost of 1 kg of apples. We do this by dividing the total cost of 4 kg by 4:

[tex]\text{Cost of 1 kg of apples} = \frac{124}{4} = 31 \text{ (in ₹)}[/tex]

Now that we know 1 kg of apples costs ₹31, we can calculate the cost of 8 kg by multiplying the cost of 1 kg by 8:

[tex]\text{Cost of 8 kg of apples} = 31 \times 8 = 248 \text{ (in ₹)}[/tex]

Thus, the cost of 8 kg of apples is ₹248.
