Q 12. What value will replace the question mark in the following equations?
(i) 5172.49 + 378.352 +? = 9318.678
(ii) ? – 7328.96 = 5169.38
Level: Moderate
Answer.(i) Let 5172.49 + 378.352 + x = 9318.678.
Then, x = 9318.678 – (5172.49 + 378.352)
= 9318.678 – 5550.842 = 3767.836.
(ii) Let x – 7328.96 = 5169.38.
Then, x = 5169.38 + 7328.96 = 12498.34.

3.1603 ÷ 13 = .2431
Q 15. Ram went to a shop to buy 50 kg of rice. He buys two varieties of rice which cost him ` 4.50 per kg and 5 per kg. He spends a total of 240. What was the quantity of rice bought which cost him 4.50 per kg?
Level: Easy
Answer.Let the quantity of rice bought at ` 4.50 per kg be x kg.
Then, quantity of rice bought at ` 5 per kg = (50 – x) kg.
4.50x + 5(50 – x) = 240 ⇒ 250 – 0.5x = 240 ⇒ 0.5x = 10 ⇒ x = 20.
Hence, quantity of rice bought at ` 4.50 per kg = 20 kg)
