Question

amu wants to purchase two books Hadley Chase and Agatha Christie from a pavement shop. The total cost of the two books is Rs.178. Ramu has Rs.22 less than the cost of Hadley Chase but Rs.28 more than the cost of the Agatha Christie. How much money does Ramu have?

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs.184

Step-by-step explanation:

Let cost of Hadley Chase book be x

Let cost of Agatha Christie book be y

x+y=178

Now ramu had 22 rs. Less than Hadley Chase cost . so he had x-22

Also he had 28rs more than Agatha Christie cost. So he also had y+28

Total rs. With ramu = x-22+(y+28)= x-22+y+28=x+y+6

We know that x+y=178

So ramu had x+y+6=178+6=184

So ramu had rs. 184 with him
