30 bags of popcorn cost $8.40. 175g of popcorn cost $1.96 when bought in these bags. How many does one bag of popcorn weigh?
In $1.96 popcorn purchased =175 g
In $ 1 popcorn purchased =175/1.96 gm
In $ 8.40 popcorn purchased =(175/1.96)×8.40 =175×8.40/1.96=750 gm
Hence 30 bags weigh = 750 gm
Weight of 1 bag =750/30 = 25 gm
