example 1: Add `438.90, `185.65 and `155.85. 1 2 2 1 practice time 12b
Solution: Arrange the given amounts in columns and then ` 4 3 8 . 9 0

add as shown alongside. ` 1 8 5 . 6 5 1. Add the following:
Hence, the required sum = ` 780.40. + ` 1 5 5 . 8 5 (a) ` 7 5 6 . 5 0 (b) ` 5 3 3 . 5 0 (c) ` 3 0 3 4 . 7 5

example 2: Subtract `197.85 from `321. ` 7 8 0 . 4 0 ` 2 2 9 . 6 5 ` 3 5 4 . 5 6 ` 5 0 3 2 . 2 5

Solution: Arrange the given amounts in columns. As there 11 10 9 + ` 2 3 1 . 9 0 + ` 2 3 3 . 4 4 + ` 1 3 2 3 . 0 0
are no paise in the amount of `321, we put 00 in 2 1 0 10 10
place of paise. Then carry out simple subtraction ` 3 2 1 . 0 0 2. Write in columns and add.
as shown alongside. – ` 1 9 7 . 8 5

Hence, the required difference = `123.15. ` 1 2 3 . 1 5 (a) `3973.65, `1523.45, `256.54 and `1360.56

example 3: Mr Gupta purchased a pair of shoes worth `2256.75, a shirt worth (b) `4542.90, `4053.83, `4462.06 and `400.09
`1353.25, a pair of trousers worth `1734.50 and a tie worth `500.75. How much 3. Find the difference of the following.
money did he spend in all?

Solution: (a) ` 7 4 5 . 2 0 (b) ` 8 5 6 . 4 0 (c) ` 4 5 2 . 0 0
– ` 3 4 6 . 5 6 – ` 3 5 2 . 7 5 – ` 3 1 2 . 1 6
1 1 1 2 1

Money spent on a pair of shoes = ` 2 2 5 6 . 7 5
Money spent on a shirt = ` 1 3 5 3 . 2 5 4. Write the following in columns and subtract.

Money spent on a pair of trousers = ` 1 7 3 4 . 5 0 (a) `486.00 from `2000 (b) `3267.75 from `7500.25
Money spent on a tie = + ` 5 0 0 . 7 5 (c) `2745 from `6000 (d) `2045.68 from `4054.99
Total amount spent on all the items = ` 5 8 4 5 . 2 5 5. Siya bought a pencil for `5.40, an eraser for `4.65 and a geometry box for

Hence, Mr Gupta spent `5845.25 in all. `58.60. What is the total amount she paid to the shopkeeper?

Total amount with Mr Verma = ` 7 0 0 0 . 0 0 8. Riya bought a shirt for `2663.75, a pair of trousers for `2462.45 and a pair of
Money spent by him = – ` 4 8 6 5 . 7 5 socks for `175.05. She paid the bill digitally. If she had `6000 in her account,

Money left with him = ` 2 1 3 4 . 2 5 what balance was left after making the payment?

Hence, the amount of `2134.25 is left with Mr Verma. multipliCation of money
