Question

Ravi wants a pencil. It costs Rs 2. He gives a one-rupee coin, one half-rupee coin and one quarter-rupee coin. Is it enough?

Answer 1

Cost of a pencil = Rs 2

Money given by Ravi = Rs (1 + 0.50 + 0.25) = Rs 1.75
But, the pencil is for Rs 2.

Money required = Rs (2.00 − 1.75) = Rs 0.25

Ravi did not give enough money to buy the pencil. Rs 0.25 more is required to buy the pencil.
