Question

A shop sells bags in three sizes: small, medium and large. A large bag costs Rs.1000, a

medium bag costs Rs.200, and a small bag costs Rs.50. Three buyers, Ashish, Banti and

Chintu, independently buy some numbers of these types of bags. The respective amounts

spent by Ashish, Banti and Chintu are equal. Put together, the shop sells 1 large bag, 15

small bags and some medium bags to these three buyers. What is the minimum number of

medium bags that the shop sells to them?​

Answer 1

The shop sold 1 medium bag to them.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount spent by Ashish, Banti and Chintu are equal.

Let the amount spent by all three = x + x + x = 3x

The shop sold 1 large bag at the amount = Rs. 1000

15 small bag at the rate of Rs. 50 = 50 × 15 = Rs. 750

Cost of Medium bag = Rs. 200

Let the minimum number of medium bag that the shop sells = 1

∴ 1000 + 750 + 200 = 3x

1950 = 3x

x = $\frac{1950}{3}$

x = 650 Rs.

They spent Rs. 650 each to buy 1 large, 1 medium and 15 small bags.

The shop sold 1 medium bag to them.
