Math Problem Statement
Can you tell the answer?
If a total of 1200 kg of fruits were sold in a day, calculate the amount of bananas sold (in kg). Find the difference between sales of grapes and oranges.
Solution
Let's solve the given problem step by step:
(i) Calculate the amount of bananas sold (in kg).
From the pie chart:
- 30% of the fruits sold are bananas.
- Total fruits sold = 1200 kg.
To find the amount of bananas sold:
So, 360 kg of bananas were sold.
(ii) Find the difference between the sales of grapes and oranges.
From the pie chart:
- Grapes sales = 10%
- Oranges sales = 15%
Now, let's calculate the amount sold for each:
- Amount of grapes sold:
- Amount of oranges sold:
The difference between the sales of grapes and oranges:
So, the difference is 60 kg.
