The correct Answer is:
To find the cost of the quantity of wheat that each person got, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the total cost of the wheat The total cost of the wheat can be calculated by multiplying the total weight of wheat by the price per kilogram. \[ \text{Total Cost} = \text{Weight of Wheat} \times \text{Price per kg} \] Given: - Weight of Wheat = 145.6 kg - Price per kg = Rs. 11 \[ \text{Total Cost} = 145.6 \, \text{kg} \times 11 \, \text{Rs/kg} = 1601.6 \, \text{Rs} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the cost of wheat per person Now, we need to distribute this total cost among the 110 people. \[ \text{Cost per person} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Number of People}} \] Given: - Total Cost = Rs. 1601.6 - Number of People = 110 \[ \text{Cost per person} = \frac{1601.6 \, \text{Rs}}{110} \approx 14.6 \, \text{Rs} \] ### Final Answer The cost of the quantity of wheat that each person got is approximately Rs. 14.6. ---
