Kirti bookstore sold books worth Rs 2,85,891 in the first week of June and books worth Rs 4,00,768 in the second week of the month. How much was the sale for the two weeks together? In which week was the sale greater and by how much?

Dear Student

Price of books sold in June first week = Rs 285891
Price of books sold June second week = Rs 400768
No. of books sold in both weeks together = Rs 285891–Rs 400768 = Rs 686659
The sale of books is the highest in the second week
Difference in the sale in both weeks = Rs 400768–Rs 285891 = Rs 114877
∴Sale in second week was greater by Rs 114877 than in the first week.
