A ratio shows us the number of times a number contains another number. The cost of cheese that is needed to make 6000g of potato cake is £12.86.
What is a Ratio?
A ratio shows us the number of times a number contains another number.
Given that the ratio of the ingredients is,
weight of potato: weight of cheese: weight of onion = 9: 2:1
Let the ingredients be mixed in the quantity 9x, 2x, and 1x, for 6000g of potato cake. Therefore, the value of x can be written as,
[tex]9x+2x+1x = 6000\\\\12x = 6000\\\\x = 500[/tex]
Hence, the value of x is 500.
Thus, the amount of cheese that will be needed is 2x,
[tex]2x = 2 \times (500) = 1000g[/tex]
Given that the cost of 175g of cheese is £2.25, therefore, the cost of 1g of cheese will be,
[tex]\text{Cost of 1g cheese} = \£\dfrac{ 2.25}{175}[/tex]
Now, the cost of 1000g of cheese will be,
[tex]\text{Cost of 1000g cheese} = 1000\times \£\dfrac{ 2.25}{175} = \£12.86[/tex]
Hence, the cost of cheese that is needed to make 6000g of potato cake is £12.86.
