Question

If ₹700 is distributed equally among 40 children, how much will each child get?

• A. ₹17.50
• B. ₹1.75
• C. ₹1.80
• D. ₹1.20

Answer 1

The correct option is A

₹17.50

Amount each child will get
$=\frac{\text{Total money}}{\text{Number of children}}$

$=\frac{700}{40}$

$=\frac{70}{4}$

$=\frac{7\times 25}{4\times 25}$

$=\frac{1750}{100}$

(Since it is easier to calculate decimals when denominator is in multiples of 10)

= ₹17.50
So, each child will get ₹17.50.
