- Kiran bought 1 kg plastic for Rs 10, but sold 1 kg plastic for Rs 12. How much money does she earn on selling 1 kg plastic?
- So, how much money does she earn for 63 kg?
Solution

So, she earn Rs 12 - Rs 10 = Rs 2.
(2) For 1 kg plastic she earns Rs 2.
Therefore, for 63 kg plastic she earns = Rs 2 × 63 = Rs 126
It can be calculated as follows:
| 60 | 3 | |
| 2 | 60 × 2 | 3 × 2 |
