If cost of transporting 160 kilograms of goods 125 kilometre is 60 rupees. What will be the cost of transporting the 200 kilograms of goods for 400 Km?

Given:

Cost of transporting 160 Kilogram of Goods 125 kilometre is 60 rupees.

Cost of transportation is directly proportional to the distance travelled and the weight of the Goods.

To do: What will be the cost of transporting the 200 kilograms of goods for 400 Km.

Solution:
Therefore, 

Cost of transporting 160 kg of goods for 125 km = Rs. 60

Cost of transporting 160 kg for 1 km = Rs.$\frac{60}{125}$ 

$\frac{60}{125}$

Cost of transporting 1 kg for 1 km = Rs. $\frac{60}{160\times 125}$

Cost of transporting 200 kg for 1 km = Rs. $\frac{200\times 60}{160\times 125}$

Cost of transporting 200 kg of goods for 400 km = Rs. $\frac{400\times 200\times 60}{160\times 125} =\ \frac{10\times 8\times 60}{4\times 5} =2\times 2\times 60=240$

=Rs. $\frac{10\times8\times60}{4\times5}$

=Rs$2\times2\times60$ 

=So, the cost of transporting 200 Kilograms of Goods for 400 Km is Rs. 240.
