Given:
The cost of 6 kg of rice is Rs. 665.40.
To do:
We have to find the amount of rice that can be bought for Rs. 499.05.
Solution:
The cost of 1 kg of rice $= Rs.\ \frac{665.40}{6}$.
$=Rs.\ 110.90$
Let $x$ kg of rice can be bought for Rs. 499.05.
This implies,
The cost of $x$ kg of rice $=Rs.\ 110.90\times x=Rs.\ 110.90x$
Therefore,
$110.90x=499.05$
$x=\frac{499.05}{110.90}$
$x=4.5$
