Question

You want to buy 48 torches each costing 55.50 paise. How much do you pay the vendor
Use distributive property to calculate.​

Answer 1

Answer:

cost of 48 torches = 2664 paise

Step-by-step explanation:

one torch = 55.50

total torches = 48

cost of 48 torches = 55.50×48

or

55.50 ×(50-2)

or

(55.50 × 50) - (55.50 × 2) [DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY]

or

2775 - 111

or

2664.

cost of 48 torches = 2664 paise

Answer 2

Answer:

The cost of 48 torches = 26.64Rupees

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost of one torch = 55.50paise

To find,

The cost of 48 torches

Recall the property

The distributive property of multiplication over addition of rational numbers is given by, if a,b, and c are any three rational numbers, then a(b+c) = ab +ac

Solution:

Since cost one torch is 55.50 paise,

the cost of 48 torches = 55.50×48

= 55.50(50 -2)

Applying distributive property a(b+c) = ab+ac, with a = 55.50, b= 50 and c = 2 we get

= 55.50 ×50 - 55.50×2

= 2775 - 111

= 2664

The cost of 48 torches = 2664paise

= 26.64 Rupees

∴ The cost of 48 torches = 26.64Rupees
