The price of two kilograms of sugar and five kilograms of salt is $5.50. If a kilogram of sugar costs $1.50, then how much is the price of three kilograms of sugar and a kilogram of salt?
Let’s work this out in a step by step way to be sure we have the right answer.
5
Two kilograms of sugar is priced at $1.

50 x 2 = $3.

Three kilograms of sugar is priced at $1.

50 x 3 = $4.

50.

So five kilograms of salt is priced at $5.

50 - $3 = $2.

50.

Thus, a kilogram of salt is priced at $2.

50 / 5 = $0.

50.

Hence, three kilograms of sugar and a kilogram of salt.

s price is $4.

50 + $0.

50 = $5.
