You must have an answer in the same book in which you found the question, so ask about whatever it is in the answer that you are not clear about and then I will help you.
You can calculate how many units are produced (sales = opening inventory plus production less closing inventory. You know the sales and the opening and closing inventory, so you can calculate the production).
The production units multiplied by 8 tells you the number of kg used.
The number of kg used = opening inventory plus purchases less closing inventory, so you can now calculate the purchases in kg.
