A vendor had 23 kg of rice. On Monday he sold 7.32 kg and then on Tuesday he sold
4 kg. What quantity of rice is left with him ?
23 - 7.32 - 4 = ? kg
you need to subtract 7.32 and 4
then subtract 23 with the answer that you got from 7.32-4
To find out the quantity of rice left with the vendor, we need to subtract the amount of rice he sold from the initial quantity he had.
Given:
Initial quantity of rice = 23 kg
Rice sold on Monday = 7.32 kg
Rice sold on Tuesday = 4 kg
To find the remaining quantity, we will subtract the total amount of rice sold from the initial quantity:
Remaining quantity = Initial quantity - Rice sold on Monday - Rice sold on Tuesday
Remaining quantity = 23 kg - 7.32 kg - 4 kg
Now, let's perform the subtraction:
Remaining quantity = 11.68 kg - 4 kg
Remaining quantity = 7.68 kg
Therefore, the vendor has 7.68 kg of rice left.
