The correct Answer is:
To find the cost per thousand bricks, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the Total Cost First, we need to find the total cost of the bricks including the cost of luggage. - Cost of 7000 bricks = Rs 5740 - Cost of luggage = Rs 805 **Total Cost = Cost of bricks + Cost of luggage** \[ \text{Total Cost} = 5740 + 805 = 6545 \text{ Rs} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the Cost per Thousand Bricks Next, we need to find the cost for 1000 bricks. Since we have the total cost for 7000 bricks, we can find the cost for 1000 bricks by dividing the total cost by the number of bricks and then multiplying by 1000. **Cost per 1000 bricks = (Total Cost / Number of bricks) * 1000** \[ \text{Cost per 1000 bricks} = \left(\frac{6545}{7000}\right) \times 1000 \] ### Step 3: Perform the Division Now we will perform the division: \[ \frac{6545}{7000} \approx 0.935 \] ### Step 4: Multiply by 1000 Now we multiply by 1000 to find the cost per 1000 bricks: \[ 0.935 \times 1000 = 935 \text{ Rs} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the cost per thousand bricks is **Rs 935**. ---
