Question

1 metre of cloths costs Rs 108.50 . What is the costs of 18.5 metres of this cloth?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of 1 metre of cloth \(= Rs 108.50\)

Cost of 18.5 metre of cloth \(= Rs 108.50\times 18.5\)

\( =108.50\times 18.5\)

\( =\frac{10850}{100}\times \frac{185}{10}\)

\( =\frac{1085}{10}\times \frac{185}{10}\)

\( =\frac{1085\times185}{10\times10}\)

\( =\frac{200725}{100}\)

\(=2007.25\)

\(\therefore\) Cost of 18.5 metre of cloth is \(Rs.2007.25\)
