Given:
- Cost of 1kg almond oil = Rs 460
To find:Solution:To solve the problem, we can use the concept of proportionality. We know that the cost of almonds is directly proportional to the weight of almonds. Therefore, we can use the following proportion:
Cost of 1 kg almonds / 1 kg almond oil = Cost of 2/5 kg almonds / (2/5) kg almond oil
Substituting the given values, we get:
Cost of 1 kg almonds / 460 = Cost of 2/5 kg almonds / (2/5) * 460
Simplifying the equation, we get:
Cost of 1 kg almonds = 460 * (Cost of 2/5 kg almonds) / (2/5)
Multiplying both sides by (2/5), we get:
Cost of 2/5 kg almonds = (2/5) * 460 * (Cost of 1 kg almonds)
Substituting the value of Cost of 1 kg almonds as Rs 460, we get:
Cost of 2/5 kg almonds = (2/5) * 460 * 460
Therefore, the cost of 2/5 kg almonds is Rs 188
Answer:
- Cost of 2/5 kg almonds = Rs 188
