Question 1:

A book exhibition was held for four days in a school. The number of tickets sold at the counter on the first, second, third, and final day was respectively 1094, 1812, 2050, and 2751. Find the total number of tickets sold on all the four days.

Answer:

Tickets sold on 1st day = 1094

Tickets sold on 2nd day = 1812

Tickets sold on 3rd day = 2050

Tickets sold on 4th day = 2751

Total tickets sold = 1094 + 1812 + 2050 + 2751

∴ Total tickets sold = 7,707

∴ Margin = 2,28,800

Question 4:

Kirti bookstore sold books worth Rs 2,85,891 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:

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

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.

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

Question 7:

A merchant had Rs 78,592 with her. She placed an order for purchasing 40 radio sets at Rs 1200 each. How much money will remain with her after the purchase?

Answer:

Cost of one radio set = Rs 1200

Cost of 40 radio sets = 1200 × 40 = Rs 48000

Money with Merchant = Rs 78,592

Money spent = Rs 48,000

Money left = 78592 − 48000

Therefore, Rs 30,592 will remain with her after the purchase.

Question 9:

To stitch a shirt, 2m 15 cm cloth is needed. Out of 40 m cloth, how many shirts can be stitched and how much cloth will remain? (Hint: convert data in cm.)

Answer:

2 m 15 cm = 215 cm (1 m = 100 cm)

40 m = 40 × 100

= 4000 cm

Cloth required for one shirt = 215 cm

Number of shirts that can be stitched out of 4000 cm = 4000 ÷ 215

Therefore, 18 shirts can be made. 130 cm, i.e. 1 m 30 cm, cloth will remain.

Question 10:

Medicine is packed in boxes, each weighing 4 kg 500 g. How many such boxes can be loaded in a van which cannot carry beyond 800 kg?

Answer:

1 kg = 1000 g

4 kg 500 g = 4500 g

800 kg = 800 × 1000 = 800000 g

Number of boxes that can be loaded in the van = 800000 ÷ 4500

Hence, 177 boxes at maximum can be loaded in the van.

Question 11:

The distance between the school and the house of a student’s house is 1 km 875 m. Everyday she walks both ways. Find the total distance covered by her in six days.

Answer:

Distance between school and house = 1 km 875 m

Now, 1 km = 1000 m

1 km 875 m = 1875 m

Distance covered each day = 1875 × 2 = 3750 m

Distance covered in 6 days = 3750 × 6

Therefore, distance covered in 6 days = 22,500 m

= 22.5 km or 22 km 500 m

Question 12:

A vessel has 4 litres and 500 ml of curd. In how many glasses, each of 25 ml capacity, can it be filled?

Answer:

Capacity of vessel = 4 l 500 ml

Capacity of a glass = 25 ml

Number of glasses that can be filled = 4500 ÷ 25

∴ 180 glasses can be filled.
