Question

Samuel wants to purchase $1,563$ toys for students of IV Grade. If the cost of one toy is $\$14$, find the total amount paid by Samuel to buy the toys?

• A. $\$22,882$
• B. $\$21,882$
• C. $\$23,882$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\$21,882$

Total number of toys to buy $=1,563$
Cost of $1$ toy $=\$14$
Cost of $1,563$ toys $=1,563\times \$14$

This product can be evaluated as:

First, we multiply 1563 by ones place digit of 14 i.e. 4.
No, we multiply 1563 by tens place place digit of 14 i.e. 1.
Now, we will do the addition
$1,563\times \$14=\$21,882$

Total amount paid by Samuel to buy $1,563$ toys would be $\$21,882$.
