Question

Emmy bought 23 Kg sugar to make sweets for children of a orphanage. If the sugar costs $\$1.48$ per Kg then how much money did she spend on buying sugar?

• A. $\$34.04$
• B. $\$3.404$
• C. $\$3404$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\$3.404$

Given that Each Kg of sugar costs $\$1.48$
To find total amount of money paid to buy 23 Kg sugar,
we need to perform $1.48\times 23$

Let's first multiply 148 with 23 and finally place the decimal point appropriately.
In $1.48$, the decimal point is in left of last two digits. Hence, the decimal point in the multiplication should be in left of last two digits, i.e., $34.04$ .

$\therefore \$1.48\times 23\text{Kg}=\$34.04$
