Question 3: A trader bought a notebook for $27.50$, a book for Rs. $198.43$ and a pen for Rs. $145.65$. He sold all the three things for Rs. $375$. Find his profit or loss.

Total cost to the trader $= 27.50 + 198.43 + 145.65 = 371.58$ Rs.

Total Selling Price $= 375$ Rs.

Profit = Selling Price – Cost Price $= 375 - 371.58 = 3.42$

Question 8: Find the average of the numbers $17.56, 22.43, 91.35$ and $48.3$.

Average $=$ $\frac{(17.56 + 22.43 + 91.35 + 48.3)}{4}$ $= 44.91$

$\\$

Question 9: The perimeter of a polygon is $25.34$ cm. If the length of each side of the polygon is $3.62$ cm, then find the number of sides of the polygon.

Number of sides of the polygon $=$ $\frac{25.34}{3.62}$ $= 7$

$\\$

Question 10: How many pieces of plywood, each $0.55$ cm thick, are required to make a pile $2.53$ m high?

$\\$

Question 11: A sum of Rs. $6512$ was divided among $100$ boys and girls in such a way that each boy gets Rs. $60$ and each girl gets Rs. $52.40$. Find the number of girls.

Let the number of girls be $x$

$x \times 52.40 + (100-x) \times 73.60 = 6512$

$x =$ $\frac{848}{21.2}$ $= 40$

Question 12: An employee may claim~ $50$ for each km which he travels by taxi and~ $9.25$ for each km he drives his own car. If in a particular day he claimed Rs. $779$ for travelling a distance of $80$ km, how many km did he drive his own car?

Let the km traveled by car $= x$
$12.50 \times (80 - x) + 9.25 \times x = 779$
$x =$ $\frac{221}{3.25}$ $= 68$ km by his own car.
