To find out how much cloth can be purchased for ₹864.50, we can use the concept of proportionality:
Let’s set up a proportion using the given information:
Cost of 78 meters of cloth = ₹3549
Cost of x meters of cloth = ₹864.50
Now, we can set up the proportion:
78 meters / ₹3549 = x meters / ₹864.50
To find the value of x, we can cross multiply and solve for x:
78 * ₹864.50 = ₹3549 * x
x = (78 * ₹864.50) / ₹3549
x ≈ (67818) / 3549
x ≈ 19.09 meters
So, approximately 19.09 meters of cloth can be purchased for ₹864.50.
