12. For a charity drive, Class 5A collected 1,120 old clothes and Class 5B collected 980 old clothes. All the clothes were then bundled into packs of 30.

True or False: A total of 70 bundles were made.

Answer Key

1. Total boxes made = 3,250 ÷ 10 = 325 boxes. Boxes left = 325 - 180 = 145 boxes.

2. Cost of 3 storybooks = 3 × 200 = ₹600. Total spending = ₹4,250 + ₹600 = ₹4,850. Money left = ₹8,500 - ₹4,850 = ₹3,650.

3. b) 70 books (Total books = 1,245 + 855 = 2,100. Books per shelf = 2,100 ÷ 30 = 70).

4. Total money collected = 25 × 500 = ₹12,500. Money left over = ₹12,500 - ₹9,850 = ₹2,650.

5. True (Good oranges = 4,500 - 150 = 4,350. Oranges per crate = 4,350 ÷ 15 = 290).

6. Cost of 1 laptop = ₹7,20,000 ÷ 24 = ₹30,000. Cost of 5 laptops = ₹30,000 × 5 = ₹1,50,000.

7. c) 80 days (Total days = 1,200 ÷ 15 = 80).

8. 125 cans (Milk left = 1,500 - 875 = 625 litres. Number of cans = 625 ÷ 5 = 125).

9. Total apartments = 18 × 12 × 4 = 864 apartments.

10. Total copies distributed/sold = 2,500 + 9,800 = 12,300. Copies left = 15,000 - 12,300 = 2,700 copies.

11. c) 3,000 grams (Flour used for 8 cakes = 250 × 8 = 2,000 grams. Flour left = 5,000 - 2,000 = 3,000 grams).

12. True (Total clothes = 1,120 + 980 = 2,100. Number of bundles = 2,100 ÷ 30 = 70).
