Solution

The method followed by Dolma's son is given below.



Answer calculated by her daughter = 500 + 500 + 500 + 90+ 8
= 1598
Answer calculated by her son = 1000 + 500 + 90 + 8
= 1598
So, both the children get the same answer.
Thus, Dolma has to pay Rs 1,598 every month for 6 months to her friend.
