Question

Jane used 13,012 kg of white chocolate and 12,124 kg of cream chocolate to make the walls of the palace. Calculate the total quantity of chocolate used.

• A. $25,126\text{kg}$
• B. $25,136\text{kg}$
• C. $25,166\text{kg}$
• D. $25,336\text{kg}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $25,136\text{kg}$

White chocolate used $=13,012\text{kg}$
Cream chocolate used $=12,124\text{kg}$

While adding two numbers, the digits at ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, and ten thousands places of a number should be added to the corresponding digits at ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, and ten thousands places of another number.

Thus, $25,136\text{kg}$ of chocolate was used.
