kilograms of yellow potatoes bought is 8330 kg

Solution:

Given that James buys 245 kilograms of red potatoes

He buys yellow potatoes that weigh 34 as much as the red potatoes

To find: kilograms of yellow potatoes bought by James

Let "y" be the kilograms of yellow potatoes bought

Let "r" be the kilograms of red potatoes bought

kilograms of red potatoes bought = 245 kilograms

r = 245 kilograms

From given information,

Yellow potatoes weigh 34 as much as the red potatoes

here "as much as" means product or multiplication

Kilograms of yellow potatoes bought = 34 x kilograms of red potatoes bought

$y = 34 \times 245\\\\y = 8330$

Thus kilograms of yellow potatoes bought is 8330 kg
