Answers
Answer:
The sale was greater in second week
Step-by-step explanation:
The value of books sold in the first week = Rs. 2, 85,891
The value of books sold in the second week = Rs. 4, 00,768
Total books sold in the first week and second week = Rs. 2, 85,891 + Rs. 4, 00,768 = Rs. 6, 86,659
Hence the total sale for the complete two weeks together= Rs. 6, 86,659
Since the amount Rs 4, 00, 768, greater than the amount Rs 2, 85,891
Therefore the sale of the second week is greater than that of the first-week books sold in the first week
More books sold in second week = Rs. 4, 00,768 -Rs. 2, 85,891= Rs 1,14,877
Therefore, the amount of Rs1,14,877 more books were sold in the second week
Price of books sold in June first week = Rs 285891
Price of books sold in June second week = Rs 400768
No. of books sold in both weeks together = Rs 285891 + Rs 400768 = Rs 686659
The sale of books is the highest in the second week
Difference in the sale in both weeks = Rs 400768 – Rs 285891 = Rs 114877
∴ Sale in second week was greater by Rs 114877 than in the first week.
