Question

Given below is the cost of a dog harness at two stores.


The harness at is costlier.

• A. Store I
• B. Store II
• C. Cannot be determined

Answer 1

The correct option is B Store II

The cost of harness at Store I is
(2,000 + 543) dollars

The cost of harness at Store II is
(2,000 + 558) dollars

As 2,000 is common for both the numbers, so we only compare 543 and 558.

Now, let us write these number in the place value chart.


Digits at hundreds place are equal.

So, we compare the digits at tens place to identify the greater number.


We can clearly see that the number at Store II is greater than Store I.

Hence, the cost of harness at Store II is costlier.
