So option A is the correct answer.

A shopkeeper sold$\  12.750\  kg$ of sugar on a day. On the next day he sold$\ 38.250\ kg$ of sugar. On the third day he sold $\ 50.50\  kg$ of sugar. How much of sugar in all did the shopkeeper sell?

maths operations adding and subtracting numbers using place value addition & subtraction mental additions and subtractions

  1. 100 kg

  2. 101.5 kg

  3. 102.5 kg

  4. 101 kg

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The amount of sugar sold on first day = 12.75 Kg

The amount of sugar sold on second day = 38.25 Kg
The amount of sugar sold on third day = 50.50 Kg

We have to calculate the total sugar sold by the shopkeeper. Thus, we have to take the sum of sugar sold on all three days.

$\therefore$ The total sugar sold by the shopkeeper is $12.75 + 38.25 + 50.50 = 101.5$
