$\huge\sf{\texttt{{{Required Answer:}}}}$

Given ☆

The cost of 20 m cloth = ₹ 360

To Find ☆

The cost of 16 m cloth

Solution ☆

To find the cost of 16 m cloth we need to first divide ₹ 360 by 20 m and then multiply the quotient which we obtain on dividing ₹ 360 by 20 m, with 16 m. Also, first we'll find the cost of 1 m cloth and then multiply it with 16 m!

So, let's solve the question now!

The cost of 20 m cloth = ₹ 360

The cost of 1 m cloth = 360 ÷ 20

On dividing we get, ₹ 18

Now, with the cost of 1 m cloth we will find out the cost of 16 m cloth, let's keep going!

The cost of 16 m cloth = 18 × 16

On multiplying we get, ₹ 288

∴ The cost of 16 m cloth is ₹ 288
