Question

Rangan buys 3.6kg of potatoes and 2.8kg of leeks.
The total cost is $$13.72$.
Leeks cost $$2.65$ per kilogram.

Find the cost of 1 kg of potatoes.

▶️ Answer/Explanation

Answer: 1.75

Subtract the cost of leeks (2.8kg × $2.65 = $7.42) from the total ($13.72). The remaining $6.30 is for 3.6kg of potatoes, so 1kg costs $6.30 ÷ 3.6 = $1.75.
