converting 50 to base 3 = 5x3^1 + 5x1^0 = 15+5 =20 converting 100base 3 = 1x3^2 + 0x3^1 + 0x1^0 =9 :. 1 bag = 20 9 bags = x 1x = 20x9 =180 x = 180÷1= 180.

1 bag=20 then 100bags= 20 × 100=2000

Since 1 bag = 50base3 ^ means raise to power = 5*3^1 + 0*3^0 = 15 + 0 = #15 So, a bag of rice = #15. 100bags of rice = 15 * 100 = #1500.
