Answer 1

903 kg of potatoes will be delivered to stores in Bronx

Solution:

Given that, lamar has 1354.5 Kilograms of potatoes to deliver equally to 18 stores

12 of the stores are Bronx

Number of stores in Bronx = 12

From given,

Kilograms of potatoe = 1354.5 kg

Total number of stores = 18

Let us first find the kilograms of potato delivered to 1 store

$\text{kg of potato to 1 store } = \frac{\text{Total kg of potato}}{\text{ total number of stores}}$

Substituting the values we get,

$\text{kg of potato to 1 store } = \frac{1354.5}{18} = 75.25$

Thus 75.25 kg potato is delivered to 1 store

How many kilograms of potatoes will be delivered to stores in Bronx

Number of stores in bronx is 12, so multiply 75.25 by 12

$\rightarrow 12 \times 75.25 = 903$

Thus 903 kg of potatoes will be delivered to stores in Bronx
