To find the total amount that Meena paid to the shopkeeper for the wheat and rice, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the cost of wheat - Meena purchased 16 kgs of wheat at the rate of Rs. 26 per kg. - Total cost of wheat = (Rate per kg) × (Quantity in kg) - Total cost of wheat = 26 × 16 ### Step 2: Perform the multiplication for wheat - Total cost of wheat = 416 Rs. ### Step 3: Calculate the cost of rice - Meena purchased 12 kgs of rice at the rate of Rs. 26 per kg. - Total cost of rice = (Rate per kg) × (Quantity in kg) - Total cost of rice = 26 × 12 ### Step 4: Perform the multiplication for rice - Total cost of rice = 312 Rs. ### Step 5: Calculate the total amount paid to the shopkeeper - Total amount = (Total cost of wheat) + (Total cost of rice) - Total amount = 416 + 312 ### Step 6: Perform the addition - Total amount = 728 Rs.
