Question

Write the given information as an equation and find its solution:
Sakshi prepared some jam at home and filled it in bottles. After giving away 7 of the bottles to her friends she still has 12 for herself. How many bottles had she made in all? If she filled 250g of jam in each bottle, what was the total weight of the jam she made?

✓

Answer

Let the total number of bottles be x.
∴ x – 7 = 12
∴ x – 7 + 7 = 12 + 7 ….(Adding 7 to both sides)
∴ x + 0 = 19
∴ x = 19
Weight of jam in each bottle = 250g
∴ Total weight of jam $=19 \times 250 g =4750 g =\frac{4750}{1000} kg =4.75 kg$
∴ The total number of bottles of jam made by Sakshi is 19, and the total weight of jam made is 4.75 kg.
