Question

the cost of 12 m cloth is 480 rupees find the cost of 8 metre cloth

Answer 1

the cost of 8 metres cloth is 320 rupees

Answer 2

Cost of 12 m cloth = 480

Cost of 1 m cloth = 480/ Cost of 12 m cloth

Cost of 1 m cloth = 480/12 = Rs 40

Therefore,

Cost of 8 m cloth = 8 × Cost of 1 m cloth

Cost of 8 m cloth = 8 × 40 = Rs 320.
