what is the cost of tiling a rectangular plot of land 500m long and 200m wide at the rate of rs 8 per hundred sq m?
First, multiply:
500 * 200 = 100,000 sq. m
100,000 / 100 = 1,000
1,000 * 8 = rs 8,000
Check my math.

To find the cost of tiling a rectangular plot of land, we need to calculate the total area of the land and then multiply it by the cost per unit area.
1. Calculate the total area of the land:
The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length by its width.
In this case, the length of the land is 500m and the width is 200m.
Therefore, the total area of the land is:
Area = Length x Width
= 500m x 200m
= 100,000 sq m
2. Determine the cost per unit area:
The cost per square meter is given as Rs 8 per hundred square meters.
To convert it to cost per square meter, divide Rs 8 by 100.
Cost per sq m = Rs 8 / 100
= Rs 0.08
3. Calculate the total cost of tiling:
Multiply the total area of the land by the cost per square meter.
Total Cost = Area x Cost per sq m
= 100,000 sq m x Rs 0.08/sq m
= Rs 8,000
Therefore, the cost of tiling the rectangular plot of land is Rs 8,000.
The area is 500 x 200 = 100,000 sq meters. Multiply that by the cost per square meter, or multiply 1000 by the cost per 100 square meters.
I assume that the "rs" unit of currency is Rupees.
That cost per area seems much too low, but that is how you do the calculation.
