Question

If the cost of the bread is Rs 10, find the cost of butter that is Rs 8 more than the cost of the bread.

Answer 1

Hint: In this question, cost of the bread is given and we need to calculate the cost of butter, which cost is Rs 8 more than the cost of the bread, therefore first we will assume that Cost of butter is Rs x and after using the given statement (cost of butter is Rs 8 higher than the cost of the bread). We will easily calculate the cost of butter.

Complete step-by-step answer:
Let Cost of butter is Rs x.
As mentioned in the question,
cost of butter that is Rs 8 more than the cost of the bread
Therefore, cost of butter = 8 + cost of the bread
 x = 8 + cost of the bread
x = 8 + 10
x = 18
Thus, the cost of butter is Rs 18.

Note:In this question, students will avoid common computational mistakes during calculation. Here the cost of butter is Rs 8 more than the cost of the bread, therefore the answer is Rs.18 but if we need to calculate the cost of butter if the cost of butter is Rs 8 less than the cost of the bread then in that case the cost of butter will be Rs.10.
