  1. Calculate the total quantity of maize.

    Add the quantities from the three bags:
    Quantity in Bag A = 67.45 kg
    Quantity in Bag B = 82.55 kg
    Quantity in Bag C = 55.65 kg

    Total quantity of maize = 67.45 kg+82.55 kg+55.65 kg67.45 \text{ kg} + 82.55 \text{ kg} + 55.65 \text{ kg}
    Total quantity of maize = 150.00 kg+55.65 kg150.00 \text{ kg} + 55.65 \text{ kg}
    Total quantity of maize = 205.65 kg205.65 \text{ kg}
