Question

The prices of booking 100 rooms in two hotels are given below. Select the hotel where you can book the rooms at a lower price.
$\begin{array}{cc}\text{Hotel}& \text{Total Price}\\ A& S26,458\\ B& S26,478\end{array}$

• A. Cannot be determined
• B. The prices of rooms in both hotels are the same
• C. Hotel B
• D. Hotel A

Answer 1

The correct option is D Hotel A

Prices of rooms in hotels A $=\$26,458$
Prices of rooms in hotels $A=\$26,478$

• While comparing two numbers, we consider the comparison from left to right.
• Here, in the two numbers, the digits at ten thousands, thousands, and hundreds places are the same.
• We compare the two numbers using tens place because the digits at tens place of both numbers are different.
• The digit at tens place is greater in 26,478 as compared to that in 26,458 as 7 is greater than 5.

Thus, the price of rooms in hotel A is less than that in hotel B.
