Question

Rina and Tina went to the market to buy half a dozen apples and two chocolates. What is the amount (in ₹) they spent if each apple costs ₹$x$ and each chocolate costs ₹$y$?

• A. ₹$(12x+2y)$
• B. ₹$(12x+y)$
• C. ₹$(6x+y)$
• D. ₹$(6x+2y)$

Answer 1

The correct option is D

₹$(6x+2y)$

Half a dozen of apples is 6 apples.
Cost of one apple = ₹$x$
Hence, the cost of 6 apples is ₹$6x$.

Cost of one chocolate = ₹$y$
Hence the cost for 2 chocolates is ₹$2y$.

So, the total amount spent in the market is ₹$(6x+2y)$.
