Question

Kirti bookstore sold books worth Rs2,85,891 in the first week of june and books worth Rs 4,00,768 in the second week of the month. How much was the sale for the two weeks together? In which week was the sale greater and by how much?

Answer 1

Value of Books sold in 1^st week = Rs 2,85,891

Value of books sold in 2^nd week = Rs 4,00,768

Total sale = sale in 1^st week + sale in 2^nd week

= 2,85,891 + 4,00,768 = 6,86,659

The sale for the two weeks together was 6,86,659

Since 4,00,768 > 2,85,891, sale in 2^nd week was

greater than 1^st week.

400768 – 285891 = 114877

The sale in 2^nd week was larger than the sale in

1^st week Rs 1,14,877
