MULTIPLICATION OF MONEY

Back to: Mathematics Primary 4

HELLO, WELCOME BACK TO CLASS

 

Multiplication is the process of calculating the total of one number multiplied by another. Multiplying means repeated addition of a number. (The number must all be the same before we can use it to multiply). There is no special rule for multiplying money. Rules that apply to multiplication of numbers also apply to multiplication of money.

Examples

$7       1      2                              #2      1     9                                       #4        1      5

×                 3                             ×             6                                        ×                 5

$ 2   1      3      6                       #1   3    0     4                                  # 2   0     7      5

 

Word Problem on Multiplication of Money

1. A book costs $ 67. How much will be paid for 102 such books?

   Solution:

The cost of one book            = $ 6 7                   6 7

Number of books                  = 1 0 2             × 1 0 2

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?

Solution: 

The cost of one bicycle            = $ 2 1 5                   2 1 5

Number of bicycle                    = 8 7                       × 8 7

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

Therefore, cost of 87 bicycles = $ 18705

3. The monthly salary of a man is $ 2,625. What is his annual income by salary?
   Solution:

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?
   Solution:

(i) Cost of one chair         = $ 452

Cost of 15 chairs             = $ 452 × 15

= $ 6,780

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

Cost of 30 tables             = $ 1,750 × 30

= $ 52,500

Therefore, cost of 15 chairs and 30 tables = $ 6,780 + $ 52,500
