offers the lower cost.

• A. Vendor A
• B. Vendor B
• C. Cannot be determined

Answer 1

The correct option is B Vendor B

We are given the cost of trumpets by two vendors and we have to choose the vendor who charges the least cost.

Vendor A charges ₹31,000 for 1,675 trumpets.

Vendor B charges ₹18 per trumpet for a total of 1,675 trumpets.

To find out the total cost of Vendor B, let us multiply 1,675 by 18.

Steps for multiplication are:

1. Multiply 1,675 by 8 ones.
2. Then multiply 1,675 by 1 tens or 10.
3. Regroup the results as necessary.
4. Add the partial products to get the final product.


∴ 1,675 $\times$ 18 = 30,150

Now, we compare the cost of two vendors.


So, Vendor B offers the lower cost.
