Money

Example 1: 

RM 54 285 – RM 46 776 ÷ 8 =

Solution :


RM 54 285 – RM 46 776 ÷ 8
= RM 54 285 – RM 5 847
= RM 48 438

Example 2 :

 RM 58.35 + RM 4.50 – (RM 14.80 + 65 sen) =

Solution :
RM 58.35 + RM 4.50 – (RM 14.80 + 65 sen)
= RM 58.35 + RM 4.50 – RM 15.45
= RM 62.85 – RM 15.45
= RM 47.40


Example 3 : 

The diagram shows the cost price of a watch. Zaki gets a discount of RM1.90 on each watch.

How much does he have to pay for 20 watches?


20 × (RM 29.90 – RM 1.90)
= 20 × RM 28
= RM 560
   
Zaki has to pay RM 560 for 20 watches.
