Q. The cost of 15kg of apples is $262.50. Find the cost of 25kg of apples.
Calculate Cost per Kilogram: First, find the cost per kilogram by dividing the total cost by the weight in kilograms. Calculation: \$\(262\).\(50\) \div \(15\)\text{kg} = \$\(17\).\(50\) \text{ per kg}.
Calculate Cost for \(25\)kg: Next, calculate the cost for \(25\text{kg}\) of apples by multiplying the cost per kilogram by \(25\).\(\newline\)Calculation: \(\$17.50 \times 25 = \$437.50\).
