Question

Usha has ₹150 with her. How many chocolates can she buy if each chocolate costs ₹5?

Answer 1

Total amount with Usha = ₹ 150
Cost of each chocolate = ₹ 5
So, to find out how many chocolates she can buy, we need to divide 150 by 5. Let's use repeated subtraction to find the answer.
From the multiplication table of 5, we know that 5 $\times$ 10 = 50.

$$\begin{array}{c}10+10+10\\ 5150\\ -\underset{–}{50}2\\ 100\\ -\underset{–}{50}\\ 50\\ -\underset{–}{50}\\ 0\end{array}$$Thus, 150 ÷ 5 = 10 + 10 + 10 = 30
Thus, Usha can buy 30 chocolates.
