Hello, 
Any ideas where to start?  Consider this: 
- Each pack of rice is 5-kilo
-Each kilo sells at 40 
Multiply the two values together first. 
40*5=? 
Then consider the fact that 125 packs of rice were given. Multiply once more: 
Answer from above*125=?

Please answer the two equations above and try figuring out the correct answer based on what is given :-)
