the cost of 16 m of cloth = 16 ×180 = 2880

Answer 2

Answer:

The cost of 16 m of cloth = Rs 2880

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the question,

We have been provided that the cost of 20 meters of cloth cost ₹3600.

Now,

First  find the cost of 1 meter cloth

Therefore,

If 20 meters of cloth cost ₹3600

∴ cost of 1 meter = $\frac{3600}{20}$

                           = 180

Cost of 1 meter of cloth = Rs 180

Now,

Cost of 16 meter of colth = Rs180 × 16

                                         = Rs 2880

Hence, the cost of 16 m of cloth = Rs 2880
