Here are the solutions to the problems:

22. A man bought the following items from the market.

ItemQtyAmount
Milk2 litres1400 @ litre
Meat1 1/2 kg10,000 @ kg
Sugar750 g3200 @ kg
Bread2 loaves3500 @ loaf

Part a· 2 steps

How much money did he spend altogether?

  1. Calculate the cost of each item.

    • Milk: Cost of Milk=2 litres×1400 per litre=2800\text{Cost of Milk} = 2 \text{ litres} \times 1400 \text{ per litre} = 2800
    • Meat: Cost of Meat=112 kg×10,000 per kg=1.5×10,000=15,000\text{Cost of Meat} = 1\frac{1}{2} \text{ kg} \times 10,000 \text{ per kg} = 1.5 \times 10,000 = 15,000
    • Sugar: Convert grams to kilograms: 750 g=0.75 kg750 \text{ g} = 0.75 \text{ kg} Cost of Sugar=0.75 kg×3200 per kg=2400\text{Cost of Sugar} = 0.75 \text{ kg} \times 3200 \text{ per kg} = 2400
    • Bread: Cost of Bread=2 loaves×3500 per loaf=7000\text{Cost of Bread} = 2 \text{ loaves} \times 3500 \text{ per loaf} = 7000
  2. Sum the costs of all items to find the total amount spent.

    Total spent=2800+15,000+2400+7000\text{Total spent} = 2800 + 15,000 + 2400 + 7000 Total spent=17,800+2400+7000\text{Total spent} = 17,800 + 2400 + 7000 Total spent=20,200+7000\text{Total spent} = 20,200 + 7000 Total spent=27,200\text{Total spent} = 27,200

    He spent 27,200/=\boxed{27,200/=} altogether.

Part b

22,800/=22,800/=

If he had a note of 50,000/=, how much was his change?

  1. Identify the amount paid and the total amount spent.

    Amount paid=50,000/=\text{Amount paid} = 50,000/= Total spent=27,200/=\text{Total spent} = 27,200/=
  2. Subtract the total spent from the amount paid to find the change.

    Change=Amount paid−Total spent\text{Change} = \text{Amount paid} - \text{Total spent} Change=50,000−27,200\text{Change} = 50,000 - 27,200 Change=22,800\text{Change} = 22,800

    His change was 22,800/=\boxed{22,800/=}.
