Question

For the celebrating children’s students of Class VII bought sweets for ₹ 740.25 and cold drink for ₹ 70. If 35 students contributed equally what amount was contributed by each student?

Answer 1

Cost of sweets = ₹ 740.25

Cost of cold drink = ₹ 70

Total cost = (₹ 740.25 + 70) = ₹ 810.25

Given that, 35 students are contributing equally.

∴ Amount contributed by each student

= ₹ `810.25/35`

= ₹ `81025/(35 xx 100)`

= ₹ `2315/100`

= ₹ 23.15

Hence, each student contributed ₹ 23.15.
