The cost of 102 books          = $ 67 × 102        1 3 4

                                          = $ 6834         + 6 7 0 0

                                                                   6 8 3 4


Therefore, cost of 102 books = $ 6834 


2. A bicycle costs $ 215. How much will be paid for 87 such bicycles?

The cost of 87 bicycles            = $ 2 1 5 × 8 7        1 5 0 5

                                             = $ 6834            + 1 7 2 0 0

                                                                          1 8 7 0 5

Monthly income               = $2,625                   2 6 2 5

Annual income                 = $2,625 × 12             × 1 2
  
                                      = $31,500                 5 2 5 0

                                                                + 2 6 2 5 0

                                                                    3 1 5 0 0

Therefore, annual income = $ 31,500



4. A chair costs $ 452 and a table costs $ 1750. What will be cost of 15 chairs and 30 tables?

                                    = $ 6,780


(ii) Cost of one table        = $ 1,750

Cost of 30 tables             = $ 1,750 × 30
