Question
Bhajan went to buy bricks. The price was given for one thousand bricks. The prices were also different for different types of bricks.
| Old bricks - | Rs 1200 for one thousand bricks |
| New bricks from Intapur - | Rs 1800 for one thousand bricks |
| New bricks from Brickabad - | Rs 2000 for one thousand bricks |
- Bhajan decided to buy the new bricks from Brickabad. He bought three thousand bricks. How much did he pay? ______
- Guess what he will pay if he buys 500 old bricks.
Solution
(1) Bhajan bought new bricks from Brickabad.
Cost of one new brick from Brickabad
= Rs 2000 ÷ 1000
= Rs 2
Cost of 3000 new bricks bought from Brickabad
= Rs 2 × 3000
= Rs 6000
(2) Bhajan bought 500 old bricks and the cost of 1000 old bricks = Rs 1200
We have to find the cost of 500 old bricks, which is half of 1000 bricks.
Cost of 500 old bricks = Rs 1200 ÷ 2
= Rs 600
Thus, the cost of 500 old bricks = Rs 600
