Question

Perform the operation using graph paper.

$\$1-(56￠+18￠)$

• A. $\$0.26$
• B. $\$0.74$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\$0.26$

$\$1$ represents $100￠.$

Let's take 100 blank boxes in a graph paper.

First, perform $56￠+18￠$
$56￠$is represented by 56 boxes.

Similarly, $18￠$is represented by 18 boxes.
Color another 18 boxes.

$\therefore$ Out of 100 boxes, we have colored $56+18$ boxes.

The number of remaining boxes is the result of $100￠-(56￠+18￠).$

Total number of remaining boxes = 26

$\therefore \$1-(56￠+18￠)=26￠$

$26￠=\$0.26$
