25 bags of wheat weighing 40 kg costs Rs 2750. What is the cost of 35 bags of wheat if each bag weighs 50 kg?

To find the cost of 35 bags of wheat weighing 50 kg each, we first need to determine the cost per kilogram of wheat from the original scenario.

1. **Calculating the total weight of 25 bags**:

Each bag weighs 40 kg, so the total weight of 25 bags is:

Total weight = Number of bags × Weight of each bag

Total weight = 25 × 40 kg = 1000 kg

2. **Finding the cost per kg**:

The total cost of 25 bags is Rs 2750. Therefore, the cost per kilogram of wheat is:

Cost per kg = Total cost / Total weight

Cost per kg = 2750 / 1000 kg = Rs 2.75 per kg

3. **Calculating the total weight of 35 bags**:

For the new scenario, each bag weighs 50 kg, so the total weight of 35 bags will be:

Total weight = 35 × 50 kg = 1750 kg

4. **Calculating the total cost for 35 bags**:

Now, using the cost per kg calculated earlier, we can find the total cost for 1750 kg of wheat:

Total cost = Cost per kg × Total weight

Total cost = 2.75 × 1750 = Rs 4812.50

Therefore, the cost of 35 bags of wheat weighing 50 kg each will be Rs 4812.50.
