Question

One litre of petrol costs Rs 82. How many litres of petrol can be bought for 500 rupees

Answer 1

Answer:

Cost of 1 litre petrol = 82

Petrol brought by 500 rupees = 500/82 = 6.098 litres

Answer 2

Given,

One litre of petrol costs = Rs. 82

To find,

Amount of petrol that can be purchased for Rs. 500

Solution,

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process.

Here, we have to use normal arithmetic method.

Now,

In Rs. 82 we can buy = 1 litre petrol

In Re. 1 we can buy = (1/82) litre petrol

In Rs. 500 we can buy = [(1×500)/82] litre petrol

In Rs. 500 we can buy = 6.098 litres petrol

(This will be considered as the final result.)

Hence, we can buy 6.098 litres of petrol in Rs. 500
