Question

Kirti Bookstore sold books worth 2,85,891 in the first week of June and books worth 4,00,768 in the second week o 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

Books sold in first week = 2,85,891 

Books sold in second week = 4,00,768 

Total books sold = 285891+400768 = 6,86,659 

Since, 4,00,768,> 2,85,891 

Therefore sale of second week is greater than that of first week. 

Books sold in second week = 4,00,768 

Books sold in first week = 2,85,891 

More books sold in second week = 400768-285891 = 1,14,877 

Therefore, 1,14,877 more books were sold in second week.
