Question

Kunal purchased a notebook for Rs 19.75, a pencil for Rs 3.85, and a pen for Rs 8.35 from a book shop. He gave a 50 rupee note to the shopkeeper. What amount did he get back?

Answer 1

Cost of the notebook = Rs 19.75
Cost of the pencil =         Rs 3.85
Cost of the pen = +         Rs 8.35
Total cost payable =       Rs 31.95

Total money paid =     Rs 50.00
Total money spent = −Rs 31.95
Balance =                     Rs 18.05 

Thus, Kunal got back Rs 18.05 from the shopkeeper.
