Question

The given table shows amount of money earned in 3 months by repairing cars.


By how many times is the earning in April more than the earning in June ?

• A. $100$
• B. $\frac{1}{10}$
• C. $10$
• D. $\frac{1}{100}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $100$

Let us represent the earnings for each month in a place value chart.

Money earned in April month = $20000
Representing the money earned in April, we get:

Money earned in May month = $2000
Representing the money earned in May, we get:


Money earned in June month = $200
Representing the money earned in June, we get:

Now, let's compare the earnings of all the three months together.

Place value of 2 in 20000 dollars = 20000
Place value of 2 in 200 dollars = 200

We also know that,
200 $\times$ 100 = 20000

Thus, the value of 2 at ten thousands place is 100 times the value 2 at hundreds place.

Hence, earning in April is 100 times more than the earning in June.
