A peach weighs 65 grams. If you buy 10 peaches and they sell for $5.50 per kilogram, how much will they cost?
:
Find how many grams for 10 peaches: 10 * 65 = 650 gram
:
Change to kilograms, divide by 1000: 650%2F1000 = .65 kilograms
:
Find the cost of .65 kilos at $5.50 per kilo: .65 * 5.50 = $3.58

In one equation: Cost = %28%2810%2A65%29%29%2F1000 * 5.50 = 3.575
