A student multiplied 7236 by 65 instead of multiplying by 56 . By how much was his answer greater than the correct answer? (Hint: Do you need to do both the multiplications?)
Given:
A student multiplied 7236 by 65 instead of multiplying by 56.
To do:
We have to find by how much his answer was greater than the correct answer.
Solution:
The result obtained by multiplying 7236 with 65 $=7236\times65$
The result obtained by multiplying 7236 with 56 $=7236\times56$
Therefore,
The difference between the correct and incorrect answer $=7236\times65-7236\times56$
$=7236(65-56)$
$=7236\times9$
$=65124$
Hence, his answer was greater than the correct answer by 65124.
