Question

A treasure has 9.03 kg of gold coins and 8.4 kg of silver coins. The combined weight of all the coins is

• A. 17.07 kg
• B. 17.77 kg
• C. 17.43 kg
• D. 17.34 kg

Answer 1

The correct option is C 17.43 kg

Weight of gold coins = 9.03 kg
Weight of silver coins = 8.4 kg

∴ Combined weight of all coins in the treasure = (9.03 + 8.4) kg

Now, we know, 8.4 = 8.40

Hence, the combined weight:
= (9.03 + 8.4) kg
= (9.03 + 8.40) kg

Calculating 9.03 + 8.40 through place value table, we get:


So, we get, 9.03 + 8.40 = 17.43

∴ The combined weight of all the coins in the treasure is 17.43 kg.
