Question

Rohit purchased a notebook for Rs 23.75, a pencil for Rs 2.85 and a pen for Rs 15.90. He gave a 50-rupee note to the shopkeeper. What amount did he get back?

Answer 1

Total amount spent by Rohit on purchasing of the given articles = Rs (23.75 + 2.85 + 15.90)
= Rs 42.50
Money given to the shopkeeper = Rs 50
∴ Money returned by the shopkeeper = Rs (50 − 42.50)
= Rs 7.50
Thus, amount received by Rohit = Rs 7.50
