Question
A shopkeeper has an unknown weight in his shop. To find out the weight, he first weighs 1 kg of rice, and then weighs 1 kg of rice and the unknown weight together. The combined weight of the rice and the unknown weight is 1.5 kg. Find the unknown weight (in grams).
Answer:
:
Let the unknown weight be xkg
Given that,
weight of rice = 1 kg = 1000 g
weight of rice+unknown weight=1.5kg=1500g
⇒x+1000g=1500g
⇒x=(1500−1000)g=500g
So, unknown weight = 500 g
