Question

16 boys went to a canteen to have tea and snacks together. The bill amounted to RS114.40 What will be the contribution of a boy who pays for himself and 5 others
​

Answer 1

Answer:

42.9

Step-by-step explanation:

When 16 boys share a bill of 114.40, each pays an equal amount.

But in the question a boy not only pays for himself but 5 others as well.

This means that he pays for 6 people as a whole

Therefore this is given by:

114.40/16 * 6

=7.15*6

=42.9
