Question
Write the given information as an equation and find its solution:
Archana bought some kilograms of wheat. She requires 12 kg per month and she got enough wheat milled for 3 months. After that, she had 14 kg left. How much wheat had Archana bought altogether?
✓

Answer

Let the total wheat bought by Archana be x kg.
Wheat used in 1 month = 12 kg
∴ Wheat used in 3 months = 3 × 12 = 36 kg
∴ x – 36 = 14
∴ x – 36 + 36 = 14 + 36 ….(Adding 36 to both sides)
∴ x + 0 = 50
∴ x = 50
∴ The total amount of wheat bought by Archana was 50 kg.
