Question

A book costs rs:96 and mahes bought 60 such books . by mistake, the accountant at the store made the bill by taking the cost of each book to be rupees 5 less. what is the difference in this bill form what it should have been ?

Answer 1

Cost of one book=₹96
No of books mahesh bought= 60
Total amount=96*60=₹5760
Now, in the original bill,
Cost of one book=₹96-₹5=₹91
Cost of 60 books=91*60=₹5460
Therefore,
The difference between the costs of books=₹5760-₹5460=₹300

Hope it helps!
