1. Cut the value of RM 206.00 with a different pen.
2. Write the value of RM 187.00 on RM 206.00 which was deducted.
3. Multiply the value of RM 187.00 with a volume of concrete is 8.

4. The new price for carrying out the concrete work is RM 1496.00
5. Calculate the amount prices on page C/1 and the answer is RM 2591.30.
