Question

Kamal purchased a book for ₹ $245.60$, a pen for ₹ $36.50$, a pencil for ₹ $8.75$ and a notebook for ₹ $13.25$. He gave a $500$-rupee note to the shopkeeper. What amount did he get back ?

Answer 1

Addition and subtraction of decimals

Amount spent in purchasing book $=$₹ $245.60$

Amount spent in purchasing pen $=$₹ $36.50$

Amount spent in purchasing pencil $=$₹ $13.25$

Therefore, total amount spent $=$₹ $(245.60+36.50+13.25)$ = ₹ $295.35$

Amount given to the shopkeeper $=$₹ $500$

Then, amount Kamal purchased $=$₹ $(500-295.35)$

$=$₹ $204.65$

Hence, the amount he gets back is ₹ $204.65$
