250 grams of sugar cost 150 dollars at Shop X. 100 grams of sugar cost 95 dollars at Shop Y. What is the difference in cost per kilogramme?​

350 dollars

(step 1) Find the cost per kilogramme of sugar in shop X

In shop X:

250 grams of sugar costs 150 dollars.

Remember that;

1000 grams = 1 kilogramme.

=> 250 grams will be equal to 0.25 kilogramme

Therefore (replacing 250 grams with 0.25 kilogramme) in shop X;

0.25 kilogramme of sugar costs 150 dollars

Now, if

0.25 kilogramme = 150 dollars,

=> 1 kilogramme =  150 dollars x 1 kilogramme / 0.25 kilogramme

=> 1 kilogramme = 600 dollars

Therefore, the cost per kilogramme of sugar in shop X is 600 dollars

(step 2) Find the cost per kilogramme of sugar in shop Y

In shop Y:

100 grams of sugar costs 95 dollars.

Remember that;

1000 grams = 1 kilogramme.

=> 100 grams will be equal to 0.1 kilogramme

Therefore (replacing 100 grams with 0.1 kilogramme) in shop Y;

0.1 kilogramme of sugar costs 95 dollars

Now, if

0.1 kilogramme = 95 dollars,

=> 1 kilogramme =  95 dollars x 1 kilogramme / 0.1 kilogramme

=> 1 kilogramme = 950 dollars

Therefore, the cost per kilogramme of sugar in shop Y is 950 dollars

(step 3) Find the difference in cost per kilogramme of sugar between the two shops

The difference is calculated by subtracting the cost per kilogramme of sugar in shop X from the cost per kilogramme of sugar in shop Y. i.e

=> cost per kilogramme of sugar in shop Y - cost per kilogramme of sugar in shop X

=> 950 dollars - 600 dollars

=> 350 dollars.

Therefore, the difference in cost per kilogramme is 350 dollars
