Answer:
125 kg
Explanation:
The problem above can be solved by using algebraic expressions.
First, let's get the total amount of beef that the butcher bought in 6 days.
Let x be the amount of beef in kg.
- 15kg is 2% of x
- 15 = 0.02(x)
- x = [tex]\frac{15}{0.02}[/tex]
The total amount of beef that the butcher bought in 6 days is 750 kg.
Let's divide the amount by 6 in order to know how much beef he bought daily.
The butcher bought 125 kg of beef daily.
This means that he took home 2.5 kg of beef daily. This totaled to15 kg of beef which he took home in 6 days.
