• A. ₹62500
• B. ₹6250
• C. ₹625

Answer 1

The correct option is C ₹625

Given: Cost of 1 chocolate = ₹6.25
$\therefore$ Cost of 100 chocolates $=\text{₹}(6.25\times 100)$
Let us first ignore the decimal point and multiply the numbers.
$=\text{₹}(625\times 100)$ = 62500

Now, there are 2 decimal places in 6.25, so we put 2 decimal places in 62500 and we finally get the answer:
Cost of 100 chocolates = ₹ 625.00
