8kg of onions is 46rs, then
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "8/46 = 1 / x
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "cross multiply the fractions
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "8x = 46
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5.75
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "*************************
\n" ); document.write( "1 kg of onions is rs-5.75

\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let y be cost of 1kg of potatoes, then
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "10y + 5(5.75) = 35
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "10y + 28.75 = 35
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "10y = 6.25
