Kirti bookstore sold books worth \( ₹ 2,85,891 \) in the first week of June and books worth \( ₹ 4,00,768 \) 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?

Given: 

Kirti bookstore sold books worth \( ₹ 2,85,891 \) in the first week of June and books worth \( ₹ 4,00,768 \) in the second week of the month. 

To do: 

We have to find the sale for the two weeks together and in which week the sale was greater and by how much.

Solution:

The price of books sold by Kirti in June first week $= Rs.\ 285891$

The price of books sold by Kirti in June second week $= Rs.\ 400768$

Therefore,

The sale for the two weeks together $= Rs.\ 285891 + Rs.\ 400768$

$= Rs.\ 686659$

The sale of books is greater in the second week.

Difference in the sale in both weeks $= Rs.\ 400768 - Rs.\ 285891$

$= Rs.\ 114877$

Hence, the sale in second week was greater by $Rs.\ 114877$ than in the first week.
