Five buckets of paint cost Rs.1200, each of these contain 1.2 L of paint. How many will 7 buckets cost, each containing 1.5 L of paint?

Dear Student,

Please find below the solution to the asked query:

Given :  Five buckets of paint cost Rs.1200, each of these contain 1. 2 L of paint.

So,

Cost of  one bucket of paint , each of these contain 1. 2 L of paint = $\frac{1200}{5}$ =  Rs .240

Then ,

Cost of  one bucket of paint , each of these contain 1 L of paint = $\frac{240}{1.2} = \frac{2400}{12}$ =  Rs .200

And

Cost of  one bucket of paint , each of these contain 1.5 L of paint = 200 $\times$ 1.5 =  Rs . 300

Therefore,

Cost of  7 buckets of paint , each of these contain 1.5 L of paint = 300 $\times$ 7 =  Rs . 2100                                       ( Ans )
