A toy costs ₹18 75 paise. If you have ₹200.00 rupees, how many such toys can you buy?
Answer
10
The correct answer is 10 — Maximum number of toys: 10.
Step-by-step solution
- Convert toy price to paise: ₹18 75 paise = 1875 paise.
- Convert available money to paise: ₹200.00 = 200 × 100 = 20000 paise.
- Divide available paise by toy price paise: 20000 ÷ 1875 = 10.666…
- Since only whole toys can be bought, take the integer part: 10 toys.
- Maximum number of toys: 10.
Common mistake: Dividing rupees directly without converting to paise
Concept tested: Maximum items affordable
