Question

Bright Tutorials · Accepted Answer

Here cost of 1 notebook = ₹ 15.50
∴ Cost of 4 notebooks = 4 × 15.50
= $\frac{4 \times 1550}{100}$
= $\frac {6200}{100}$
= ₹ 62
and cost of 1 eraser = ₹ 2.75
∴ Cost of 3 erasers = 3 × ₹ 2.75
= $\frac{3 \times 275}{100}$
= $\frac {825}{100}$
= ₹ 8.25
∴ Total amount spent = 62 + 8.25 = ₹ 70.25
