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?
Two kilograms of sugar is priced at $1.50 x 2 = $<T>multiply(2, 1.5)=3.0
Three kilograms of sugar is priced at $1.50 x 3 = $<T>multiply(3, 1.5)=4.5.
So five kilograms of salt is priced at $5.50 - $3 = $2.50.
Thus, a kilogram of salt is priced at $2.50/5 = $<T>divide(2.5, 5)=0.5.
Hence, three kilograms of sugar and a kilogram of salt.s price is $4.50 + $0.50 = $5.
