a floral design on the floor of a building consist of 280 tiles. each tile is in the shape of a parallelogram of height 3cm and base 5cn. find the cost of polishing the design at the rate of 50 paise per cm²
Answers
Answer:
Total number of tiles = 280 tiles
Height of parallelogram = 3 cm
Breadth of parallelogram = 5 cm
∴ Area of one parallelogram tile = b x h
= 5 x 3
= 15 cm²
∴ Area of 280 tiles = 15 cm² × 280
= 4200 cm²
Cost of polishing the tiles = 50 paise per cm²
∴ Total cost of polishing = 50 × 4200 cm²
= 210000 paise
100 paise = 1 rupee
∴ 210000 paise = 210000/100
= 2100 Rupees
∴ Cost of polishing the tiles = 2100 Rupees
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of each tile =5×3=15cm'2
=280×15=4200
Cost of polishing the floor=50×4200=210000rupees
=210000÷100=2100 paise per cm
