Question

The cost of a TV set is $\mathrm{Rs}.9,875$ and the cost of a VCR is $\mathrm{Rs}.12,735$. Sunil placed the order for a TV set and a VCR. What amount of money will he have to pay by cheque if he gives $\mathrm{Rs}.15,000$ in cash?

Answer 1

Step 1: Find total amount of a TV set and a VCR.

Given : Cost for a TV set $=\mathrm{Rs}.9,875$

Cost for a VCR $=\mathrm{Rs}.12,735$

So, total amount of a TV set and a VCR $=Rs.\left(9,875+12,735\right)$

$\text{TTH}\text{TH}\mathrm{H}\mathrm{T}\mathrm{O}\text{Carry over}11119875+1273522610$

Step 2 : Finding the amount paid by cheque.

We know that Sunil pay $\mathrm{Rs}.15,000$ by cash

So, the amount paid by cheque $=$Total amount of a TV set and a VCR $-$Amount paid by cash

$=\mathrm{Rs}.\left(22,610-15,000\right)$

$\text{TTH}\text{TH}\mathrm{H}\mathrm{T}\mathrm{O}112\cancel{2}\cancel{2}610-1500007610$

Hence, the amount paid by cheque is $\mathrm{Rs}.7,610$.
