Question

a matchbox contains 102 maths which of the following identity will be used to find the total match sticks in 98 such match boxes​

Answer 1

Answer:

Match sticks in a match box = 102

Number of match boxes = 98

Total match sticks = 102 * 98

                               = (100 + 2) * (100 - 2)

                               = 10000 - 200 + 200 - 4

                               = 10000 - 4

                               = 9996

Distributive property is used.

Answer 2

From the given question the correct answer is :

the total match sticks in 98 such match boxes​  9996.

Solution:

Match sticks in a match box = 102

Number of match boxes = 98
