Question

Add $\$0.27$ with $\$0.65$ using graph paper.

• A. $\$0.92$
• B. $\$92$
• C. $\$0.93$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\$0.92$

$\$0.27$ represents $27￠$ and $\$0.65$ represents $65￠.$

$\therefore \$0.27+\$0.65=27￠+65￠$

Use a graph paper and represent 100 boxes as $\$1,$ i.e., 1 box as $1￠.$

$\therefore 27￠$ will be represented by 27 boxes.

$65￠$ corresponds to 65 boxes.
To add $65￠$ with $27￠,$ color another 65 boxes.


$\therefore$ Total number of colored boxes is 92.
92 boxes represent $92￠,$ which is $\$\mathrm{0.92.}$

Hence, $\$0.27+\$0.65=\$0.92$
