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 of the month. How much was the sale for the two weeks together? In which week was the sale greater and by how much?

Sum

Solution

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

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

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

= 2,85,891 + 4,00,768

  285891
+400768
  686659 

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

Since 4,00,768 > 2,85,891, sale in 2nd week was greater than 1st week.

 400768
-285891
 114877

∴ The sale in the 2nd week was larger than the sale in the 1st week by Rs 1,14,877.
