Question

If ₹ 70 is distributed equally among 40 poor children, how much will each child get?

• A. ₹17.5
• B. ₹1.75
• C. ₹2.80
• D. ₹ 3.20

Answer 1

The correct option is B

₹1.75

Amount each child will get $=\frac{\text{Total money}}{\text{Number of children}}=\frac{70}{40}=\frac{7}{4}=\frac{7\times 25}{4\times 25}=\frac{175}{100}=₹1.75$

So, each child will get ₹ 1.75.
