Meat Price Tax


1. **State the problem:** A person buys 5 kg of meat at a price of 500 per gram with a tax of 6% per kg. We need to find the total price for 5 kg including tax. 2. **Convert kg to grams:** Since 1 kg = 1000 g, 5 kg = $5 \times 1000 = 5000$ g. 3. **Calculate base price:** Price per gram is 500, so base price = $5000 \times 500 = 2500000$. 4. **Calculate tax amount:** Tax is 6% on the price per kg. Price per kg before tax = $1000 \times 500 = 500000$. Tax per kg = $6\%$ of 500000 = $0.06 \times 500000 = 30000$. 5. **Calculate total tax for 5 kg:** Total tax = $5 \times 30000 = 150000$. 6. **Calculate final price:** Final price = base price + total tax = $2500000 + 150000 = 2650000$. **Answer:** The total price for 5 kg of meat including tax is $2650000$.
