Step 2: Multiply the figures by the given number just like Math Insight
we multiply any ordinary numbers. When we multiply an amount
Step 3: In the product, put a point after the second digit by any number we place the

from the right. point in the product after two
places from the right.
example 1: Multiply the following.
(a) `245.30 by 8. (b) `348.25 by 12.
Solution:

(a) ` 2 4 5 . 3 0 (b) ` 3 4 8 . 2 5

× 8 × 1 2
1 9 6 2 . 4 0 ` 6 9 6 5 0
+ ` 3 4 8 2 5 0

` 4 1 7 9 . 0 0

Hence, `245.30 × 8 = `1962.40 Hence, `348.25 × 12 = `4179.00
example 2: The cost of a colour box is `55.75. Find the cost of 6 such colour boxes.
Solution: The cost of one colour box = `55.75
Number of colour boxes required = 6 ` 5 5 . 7 5
So, the cost of 6 colour boxes = `55.75 × 6 × 6

= `334.50 3 3 4 . 5 0

When we are given the value of a number of items and we need to find the value
of a single item, we do the operation of division.
We follow these steps to divide an amount by a number.
Step 1: Write the given amount in figures in place of the dividend.

Step 2: Divide it by the given number taking the amount as an ordinary number.
Step 3: In the quotient, put a point after two digits from the right.
example 1: Divide the following:

(a) `48.65 by 7 (b) `213.50 by 14
Solution:
(a) 7 48.65 6.95 (b) 14 213.50 15.25

42 14
66 73
63 70
35 35
28
35 70
0 70
0

Hence, `48.65 ÷ 7 = `6.95. Hence, `213.50 ÷ 14 = `15.25.
