We will work in grams to eliminate decimals

First, find out what the 3/10 is

2000g / 10 = 200g

200g x 3 = 600g for curry

600g / 1000 = 0.6kg for curry

Work out how much is left over

2000g - 600g = 1400g

Work out how much was used for the soup

1400g / 2 = 700g for soup

Work out many grams are remaining

2000g - 600g - 700g = 700g

A) 0.6kg

B) 700g
