Question 4

Kirti Bookstore sold books worth ₹ 2,85,891 in the first week of June and books worth ₹ 4,00,768 in the second week of the month. How much was the sale for the two weeks together? In which week was the sale greater and by how much?

Answer 1

$\begin{array}{cc}\text{Cost of the books sold in first week}& =₹2,85,891\\ \text{Cost of the books sold in second week}& =₹4,00,768\\ \text{Total cost of the books sold(i.e sum)}& =₹6,86,659\end{array}$

Therefore, the sale for the two weeks together = ₹ 6,86,659.

Since 4,00,768 > 2,85,891
Therefore, sale of second week is greater than that of first week.

$\begin{array}{cc}\text{Cost of the books sold in second week}& =₹4,00,768\\ \text{Cost of the books sold in first week}& =₹2,85,891\\ \text{Difference}& =₹1,14,877\end{array}$

Therefore, 1,14,877 more books were sold in the second week.
