To solve this problem, we will follow a step-by-step approach:
1. Understanding the question: We need to find the total cost for 3.6 meters of cloth where 1 meter costs ₹ 48.50.
2. Identify the cost of one meter of cloth:
[tex]\[
\text{Cost of 1 meter of cloth} = ₹ 48.50
\][/tex]
3. Identify the length of cloth required:
[tex]\[
\text{Length of cloth} = 3.6 \, \text{meters}
\][/tex]
4. Calculate the total cost:
To find the total cost, we multiply the cost per meter by the total length required.
[tex]\[
\text{Total cost} = \text{Cost per meter} \times \text{Length of cloth}
\][/tex]
Substituting the given values:
[tex]\[
\text{Total cost} = 48.50 \times 3.6
\][/tex]
5. Result:
Upon performing the multiplication:
[tex]\[
\text{Total cost} = ₹ 174.60
\][/tex]
Therefore, the total cost for 3.6 meters of cloth is ₹ 174.60.
