Solution
- Cost of the cow = Rs 17,500
Money spent by Kamla Bai on the cow = Rs 5,500
It is given that the rest of the money was spent by the government.
∴ Money spent by the government on the cow
= Rs 17500 − 5500
= Rs 12,000
Working:
17500
− 5500
12000
Thus, the government spent Rs 12,000 on one cow. - Money spent by the government on 1 cow = Rs 12,000
∴ Money spent by the government on 9 cows
= Rs 12000 × 9
= Rs 1,08,000
Working:
12000
× 9
108000
Thus, the government spent Rs 1,08,000 on nine cows.
