Question

One metre of cloth costs Rs 152.50. What is the cost of 10.75 metres of cloth?

Answer 1

Cost of 1 m of cloth = Rs. 152.50

$\therefore$ Cost of 10.75 m of cloth = Rs. 152.50 $\times$ 10.75

$$\begin{gathered} \frac{1525}{10}\times \frac{1075}{100} \\ =\frac{1639375}{1000} \end{gathered}$$
= 1639.375

Thus, 10.75 m of cloth will cost Rs. 1639.375.
