Respuesta :

Answer:

i. weight of wastage(kg) = 179.775 kg

ii. weight of rice cultivated = 765 kg - 179. 775 kg = 585.225 kg

percentage of rice cultivated = 100 - 23.5 = 76.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

A land of 1000 sq. meter  is used to cultivate 765 kg of rice with wastage of 23.5%.

i. The wastage in percentage is 23.5% but the weight of the wastage in weight is  23.5% of 765 kg

weight of wastage = 23.5/100 × 765

weight of wastage = 17977.5/100

weight of wastage(kg) = 179.775 kg

ii. weight and percentage of rice cultivated.

weight of rice cultivated = 765 kg - 179. 775 kg = 585.225 kg

percentage of rice cultivated = 100 - 23.5 = 76.5%
