Question

Seema bought a dozen shirts at 201 1/2 rupees each while radha bought 10 shirts at 220 3/4 who spent more money

Answer 1

Given :

The amount of money spent by Seema to buy each   shirt = $201 \frac{1}{2}$

The amount of money spent by Radha to buy a each shirt = $220 \frac{3}{4}$

To Find :

Who spent more money in buying shirts ?

Solution :

No of shirts bought by Seema = 12

Since she buys each at Rs $201 \frac{1}{2}$ , so total money spent by Seema is :

$=12 \times 201 \frac{1}{2}\\=12 \times \frac{402 + 1}{2}\\= 12 \times \frac{403}{2}\\= 6 \times 403 \\=2418$

So Seema spent a total of  Rs 2418 .

Now total number of shirts bought by Radha = 10

Since she buys each shirt at Rs   $220 \frac{3}{4}$  , So total money spent by Radha is :

$= 10 \times \frac{220\times 4 + 3}{4}\\=10 \times \frac{880 + 3}{4}\\= 10 \times \frac{883}{4}\\= 22075$

So Radha spent a total of Rs 2207.5 .

Here , 2418 > 2207.5 .

Hence , Seema spent more money in buying shirts .
