Question 92

For the celebrating children's day, students of class VII bought sweets for Rs 740.36 and cold drink for Rs 70. If 35 students contributed equally what amount was contributed by each student?

Answer 1

Cost of sweets $=740.36$
cost of cold drink $=Rs.70$
Total cost $=Rs.(740.36+70)=Rs.810.36$
Given that 35 students are contributing equally.
$\therefore$ Amount contributed by each student
$=Rs.\frac{810.36}{35}=\frac{81036}{35\times 100}=\frac{2315.31}{100}=Rs.23.15$
Hence each student contributed Rs. 23.15.
