Priya has a note of Rupees 10. She purchased a pencil of 75 paise and a rubber of 50 paise.

How much money she has now? [3 MARKS]

Answer 1

Steps: 2 Marks
Answer: 1 Mark

$75p+50p=125p$

$\Rightarrow Re1+25p=Rs1.25$

Now, on subtracting Rs 1.25 from Rs 10, we get

$\Rightarrow Rs(10-1.25)=Rs\mathrm{8.75.}$

Thus, after her purchase, the money left with Priya is $Rs\mathrm{8.75.}$
