Answer 1

No. of gifts = 78.40 / 0.40

Answer 2

We can purchase 196 paper.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to to the question,

The rate of a piece of gift paper = 0.40 Rs.

We have to find how many paper we can purchase for Rs 78.40.

Let the 'x' paper we can purchase.

So,

$x\times0.40 = 78.40$

$x = \frac{78.40}{0.40}$

$x = \frac{7840}{40}$ {Since we know that we can cancel out the decimal from fraction}

x = 196 paper

Thus, we can purchase 196 paper.
