Question

The income of two coffee shops on a particular month is given. Identify the correct statement.

• A. Income of shop 1 > Income of shop 2
• B. Income of shop 1 < Income of shop 2
• C. Income of shop 1 = Income of shop 2
• D. Income of shop 1 = Income of shop 2 + 10 dollars

Answer 1

The correct option is A Income of shop 1 > Income of shop 2

The income of shop 1 = 34,685 dollars

The income of shop 2 = 34,658 dollars

Let us compare the income in the place value chart.

The ten thousands, thousands, and hundred places have the same value.

We have to compare the tens place.


The tens place 8 is greater than 5.

Hence, the income of shop 1 is greater than the income of shop 2.

Since the income of shop 1 is greater than that of shop 2, the expression "Income of shop 1 > Income of shop 2" is true.


The expression "Income of shop 1 < Income of shop 2" cannot be true, since the income of shop 1 is greater than that of shop 2.


The next expression given is "Income of shop 1 = Income of shop 2" is not true.

The next expression,
Income of shop 1 = Income of shop 2 + 10 dollars
Income of shop 1 = 34,658 + 10 = 34,668

This is not equal to the income of shop 1.
Hence, this is not true.

Therefore, 'Income of shop 1 > Income of shop 2' is the true statement.
