Question

At an exhibition, Sanjay tries his skill at shooting. He was to receive 50 paise for hitting the bull's eye and had to pay 10 paise for missing the bull's eye. He tried 40 shots but received only rupees 5. How many times did he hit the bull's eye?

Answer 1

$your \: answer$
For Hitting Bull - 50 paise
For missing bull - 10 paise

shots tried - 40
money recieved- 5 rupees
40 paise = 0.4 rupees
Money recieved for hitting 5× .4= 2
Money given for not hitting the bull - ₹ 2-0.1
= 1.9
1.9 ÷ 10 = .19
Hence he gave 19 paise
and got 5

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hits bulls eye = x times

Misses bulls eye = (40-x) times

Money received = 50*x=0.5*x rupees

Money paid = 10*(40-x)paise=0.1(40-x) rupees

ACC. to question

0.5x-0.1(40-x)=5

0.5x-4+0.1x=5

0.6x=5+4

0.6x=9

X=9÷0.6

X=15
