The answer is 27 but I am not sure I hope my calculations ain't wrong
Answer: tea = 15 rupees per kg
sugar= 3 rupees per kg
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to write a system of equations with the information given:
<em>"Two kg of tea and 3 kg of sugar cost rupees 39 in january 1997":
</em>
2 t + 3 s =39 (a)
Where:
- t= price of 1 kg of tea
- s = price of 1 kg of sugar
<em>"in march 1997 the price of the tea increased by 25% (1.25)and the price of the sugar increased by 20%(1.20) and the same quantity of tea and sugar cost rupees 48.30.
"</em>
2(t1.25)+3(s1.2) = 48.30 (b)
- <em>Solving for t in (b)
</em>
2t =39-3s
t = (39 -3s)/2
t = 19.5-1.5s
- <em>Replacing the value of t in (b)
</em>
2 x ((19.5-1.5s)1.25)+ 3 ( 1.2s) =48.30
2x ( 24.375 -1.875s) +3.6s =48.30
48.75 -3.75s+3.6s= 48.30
48.75-48.30 = 3.75s-3.6s
0.45= 0.15s
0.45/0.15 =s
3 =s
- <em>Replacing the value of s in (a)
</em>
2 t + 3 (3) =39
2 t + 9 =39
2 t =39 -9
2 t =30
t = 30/2
t= 15
Prices in january:
tea = 15 rupees per kg
sugar= 3 rupees per kg

Answer:
$30
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide the cost ($75) by the yards (2 1/2) to get $30 per yard.
1. expand using place value.
337,060 = 300,000 + 30,000 + 7,000 + 000 + 60 + 0
Next, we will use exponents:
300,000 = 3 * 10^5
30,000 = 3 * 10^4
7,000 = 7 * 10^3
000 = 0 * 10^2
60 = 6 * 10
0 = 0 * 10^0
then after combing these exponents, we can write the number as:
337,060 = 3 * 10^5 + 3 * 10^4 + 7 * 10^3 + 0 * 10^2 + 6 * 10 + 0 * 10^0
Finally, removing the meaningless zeroes, we would end up with:
337,060 = 3 * 10^5 + 3 * 10^4 + 7 * 10^3 + 6 * 10
Answer: He now weighs 4.2 kg because 4/10 of 3 is 1.2 and 1.2+3=4.2
