EXAMPLE.-What is the cost of 17 acres of land at $23.375 an acre? SOLUTION. $23.375 equal 23375 mills; and since 1 acre costs 23375 mills, 17 acres will cost 17 times 23375 mills=397375 mills. Reduce the mills to dollars by pointing off three figures. CONCLUSION.-Therefore, if one acre of land costs $23.375, 17 acres will cost $397.375. Hence, the OPERATION. $23.375 17 163625 23375 $397.375 Rule.-Multiply as in simple numbers; the product will be the answer in the lowest denomination of the multiplicand, which may be reduced to dollars by pointing. PROOF.-Same as in multiplication of Simple Numbers. EXAMPLES FOR PRACTICE. 1. Multiply $17.25 by 9. 3. Multiply $93.90 by 72. 4. Multiply $77.293 by 60. 5. Multiply 59 dollars, 4 cents, and 5 mills by 122. 8. Multiply $8700.69 by 293. 9. Multiply one hundred dollars and five mills by 620. 10. Multiply one dollar, thirty-six cents, and eight mills by 500. 11. What cost 256 bushels of peaches at $3.25 a bushel? 12. What cost 144 arithmetics at $.375 each? each? 14.

Two men bought cattle; one bought 31, at $93.725 each; the other 71, at $87.67: which one expended the most money, and how much? 19. A man bought a farm of 256 acres at $41.075 an acre, and sold it at $53.17 an acre: how much did he gain? 20. A merchant sold on Monday 1208 bushels of I wheat at $1.225 a bushel; Tuesday, 1420 bushels at $1.21 a bushel; Wednesday, 1906 bushels at $1.245 a bushel: how much did he receive in all? 21. A speculator bought 1860 yards of linen at 69 cents and 7 mills a yard; he sold it for 69 cents and 9 mills a yard: what did he gain? 22. A man bought at one time 309 sheep for $5.675 each; at another time, 416, at $4.97 each: what did he pay for both flocks? 23. A merchant purchased. 8 bales of cloth, each containing 72 yards, at $4.125 a yard: how much did it cost?. 24. If it costs $2.005 to carry 1 ton 1 mile, how much will it cost to carry 17 tons 307 milęs? 62. DIVISION OF U. S. MONEY. EXAMPLE.-At 12 cents a pound, how much sugar CONCLUSION.-Therefore, if 1 pound of sugar costs 12 cents, 25 pounds can be bought for $3.00. EXAMPLE. If 8 acres of land cost $91, what is the cost of 1 acre? OPERATION. mills. SOLUTION.-If 8 acres cost $91, 1 acre will cost one-eighth of $91, or 91000 mills; one-eighth of 8)91 000 91000 mills is 11375 mills = $11.375. Hence, the $11.375 Rules. To divide one sum of money by another, reduce both to the same denomination, and divide as in Simple Numbers. To divide a sum of money into equal parts, reduce it to mills, then divide; the quotient will be mills, which reduce to dollars. PROOF.-The same as in Simple Numbers. NOTE.-If there be a remainder after dividing mills, place the sign+after the quotient. EXAMPLES FOR PRACTICE. 1. Divide $345 equally between 3 men. 2. Divido $63 equally between 25 men. |
