Question

16 boys went to the canteen to have tea and snacks together. The bill amounted to Rs. 114.40. What will be the contribution of a boy who pays for himself and 5 others?

Answer 1

16 boys pay for bill = Rs.114.40

1 boy pays for bill = Rs.`114.40/16` = Rs.7.15

∴ Contribution of a boy who pays for himself and 5 others = 6 × 7.15 = Rs.42.90
