Question

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

Answer 1

no. of boys - 16
total bill amount - 114.40
which means, if all 16 boys pay an equal amount (obviously) the amount will be - 114.40÷16 = 7.15
so if a boy pays for himself and 5 others , basically he's paying for 6 people.
so he pays 6×7.15= 42.90
