Question

Ayesha bought 1.80 m of cloth for her salwar and 2.25 m for her kurta. If the cloth costs 120 rupees per metre, how much must she pay the shopkeeper?

Answer 1

Length of cloth bought for salwar = 1.80 m

Length of cloth bought for kurta = 2.25 m

∴ Total length of cloth bought = Length of cloth bought for salwar + Length of cloth bought for kurta

= 1.80 m + 2.25 m

= 4.05 m

    1
    1.80
+ 2.25  
   4.05   

Rate of cloth =  ₹ 120/m

∴ Amount paid to the shopkeeper
= Total length of cloth bought × Rate of cloth
= 4.05 m × ₹ 120/m
= ₹ 486

        4.05
     ×120    
        000
      810×
    405××   
    486.00    

Thus, Ayesha paid ₹ 486 to the shopkeeper.
