250 grams of a sweet has 20 grams of cashew and 30 grams of almonds. How many grams of cashew and almonds, respectively, will be there in 350 grams of the same sweet? Correct Answer 28 and 42

Given:

Amount of sweet = 250 g

Amount of cashew in it = 20 g

Amount of almonds in it = 30 g

Amount of sweet in which we need to find the amount of cashew and almonds = 350 g

Concept:

The percentage of cashew and almond will remain the same in 250 g and in 350 g.

Calculation:

Percentage of cashew in 250 gram sweet = 20/250 × 100

⇒ Percentage of cashew in 250 gram sweet = 8%

Percentage of almond in 250 gram sweet = 30/250 × 100

⇒ Percentage of almond in 250 gram sweet = 12 %

Now, to find the amount of cashew and almond in 350 gram of sweet,

Amount of cashew in 350 gram sweet = 350 × 8/100

⇒ Amount of cashew in 350 gram sweet = 28 g

Amount of almond in 350 gram sweet = 350 × 12/100

⇒ Amount of almond in 350 gram sweet = 42 g

∴ The amount of cashew and almond in 350 grams sweet is 28 grams and 42 grams respectively.
