3. Find the value of the following:
(a) 297 × 17 + 297 × 3
(b) 54279 × 92 + 8 × 54279
(c) 81265 × 169 – 81265 × 69
(d) 3845 × 5 × 782 + 769 × 25 × 218
Solutions:
(a) Given 297 × 17 + 297 × 3
= 297 × (17 + 3)
= 297 × 20
= 5940
(b) Given 54279 × 92 + 8 × 54279
= 54279 × 92 + 54279 × 8
= 54279 × (92 + 8)
= 54279 × 100
= 5427900
(c) Given 81265 × 169 – 81265 × 69
= 81265 × (169 – 69)
= 81265 × 100
= 8126500
(d) Given 3845 × 5 × 782 + 769 × 25 × 218
= 3845 × 5 × 782 + 769 × 5 × 5 × 218
= 3845 × 5 × 782 + 3845 × 5 × 218
= 3845 × 5 × (782 + 218)
= 19225 × 1000
= 19225000
4. Find the product using suitable properties.
(a) 738 × 103
(b) 854 × 102
(c) 258 × 1008
(d) 1005 × 168
Solutions:
(a) Given 738 × 103
= 738 × (100 + 3)
= 738 × 100 + 738 × 3 (using distributive property)
= 73800 + 2214
= 76014
(b) Given 854 × 102
= 854 × (100 + 2)
= 854 × 100 + 854 × 2 (using distributive property)
= 85400 + 1708
= 87108
(c) Given 258 × 1008
= 258 × (1000 + 8)
= 258 × 1000 + 258 × 8 (using distributive property)
= 258000 + 2064
= 260064
(d) Given 1005 × 168
= (1000 + 5) × 168
= 1000 × 168 + 5 × 168 (using distributive property)
= 168000 + 840
= 168840
5. A taxidriver filled his car petrol tank with 40 litres of petrol on Monday. The next day, he filled the tank with 50 litres of petrol. If the petrol costs ₹ 44 per litre, how much did he spend in all on petrol?
Solutions:
Petrol quantity filled on Monday = 40 litres
Petrol quantity filled on Tuesday = 50 litres
Total petrol quantity filled = (40 + 50) litre
Cost of petrol per litre = ₹ 44
Total money spent = 44 × (40 + 50)
= 44 × 90
= ₹ 3960
6. A vendor supplies 32 litres of milk to a hotel in the morning and 68 litres of milk in the evening. If the milk costs ₹ 45 per litre, how much money is due to the vendor per day?
Solutions:
Milk quantity supplied in the morning = 32 litres
Milk quantity supplied in the evening = 68 litres
Cost of milk per litre = ₹ 45
Total cost of milk per day = 45 × (32 + 68)
= 45 × 100
= ₹ 4500
Hence, the money is due to the vendor per day is ₹ 4500
