A roll of Mangalgiri cloth contains 79 m of cloth and a roll of Pochampally cloth contains 56m of cloth. The Mangalgiri cloth is sold for Rs. 128 per meter and the Pochampali cloth is sold for Rs. 217 per meter. If both the rolls are sold by the shopkeeper within the month, then how much money has he received on their sale?

Answer 1

Hint: In this question, first find the cost for roll of Mangalgiri cloth and then find the cost for roll of Pochampally cloth.
Use the formula to calculate Total cost of a roll = cost of 1m x total length of cloth in a roll
Later in the next step add them both to get the value of the total value of money the shopkeeper received on their sale.

Complete step-by-step answer:
Here, we have a roll of Mangalgiri cloth of 79 m and a roll of Pochampally cloth of 56 m and it costs around Rs. 128 per meter and Rs. 217 per meter respectively.
Let us, first find the total cost for Mangalgiri cloth,
Mangalgiri cloth per meter costs Rs. 128
Total cost of Mangalgiri cloth of 79 m will be = Cost of 1m cloth x total roll length
                                                                                 = 128 * 79
                                                                                 = 10,112
The total cost for a roll of 79 m Mangalgiri cloth is Rs. 10,112
Now, let us find the cost of Pochampally cloth roll of 56 m,
Pochampali cloth per meter costs Rs. 217
Total cost of Pochampally cloth of 56 m will be = Cost of 1m x total roll length
                                                                                  = 217 * 56
                                                                                  = 12,152
The total cost for a roll of 56 m Pochampali cloth is Rs. 12,152
Now, for the final step, add both the total value of the sale received by the shopkeeper after he sold both the cloth in a month.
TOTAL SALE = Cost of Mangalgiri roll + Cost of Pochampalli roll
                      = 10,112 + 12,152
                      = 22,264
Hence, the total value of the sale received by the shopkeeper is Rs. 22,264

Note: In this question, the units were the same throughout the question and the solution, so we could solve in a very direct manner. If the units were different, your significance is to make all the relative units similar and then proceed with the question. Never forget to put units for all the values to avoid the deduction of marks.
