PART 4: REAL-LIFE APPLICATIONS
Application 1: Shopping & Billing
Scenario: Grocery Store Calculation
You buy: 3 items at ₹47 each, 2 items at ₹98 each, 4 items at ₹25 each.
Vedic approach:
- 3 × 47 = 141 (using 3×50−3×3=150−9=141)
- 2 × 98 = 196 (using 2×100−2×2=200−4=196)
- 4 × 25 = 100
- Total = 141 + 196 = 337, +100 = 437
Practice Problem: Calculate total for 5 items at ₹96, 3 items at ₹105, 6 items at ₹48.
Application 2: Time & Distance
Scenario: Travel Time Calculation
A train travels at 97 km/h for 6 hours. Distance = 97 × 6 = 582 km.
Vedic: (100−3)×6 = 600−18 = 582 ✓
Practice Problem: If a car travels at 98 km/h for 8 hours, what distance does it cover?
Application 3: Discount Calculation
Scenario: 9% Discount on ₹4500
9% of 4500 = 4500 × 9 ÷ 100 = 40500 ÷ 100 = 405
Vedic shortcut: 9% = (10% − 1%) → 450 − 45 = 405 ✓
Practice Problem: Calculate 11% discount on ₹2500.
Application 4: Tip Calculation
Scenario: 15% tip on ₹680
15% = 10% + 5% = 68 + 34 = 102
Vedic: 680 × 15 = 680 × (3×5) = (680×3)×5? Better: 680×15 = 680×10 + 680×5 = 6800 + 3400 = 10200, then ÷100 = 102 ✓
Application 5: Area & Measurement
Scenario: Square garden of side 85 m
Area = 85² = 7225 m² (using Sutra 1: 8×9=72, 25)
Application 6: Quantity Estimation
Scenario: 98 boxes with 97 items each
Total = 98 × 97 = 9506 items
