Question

ayesha buys some bottles of cola at Rs. 15 each and twice as many cans of orange juice at Rs. 25 each. she also buys 10 fewer cans of lemonade than orange at Rs. 20 each. She spent Rs. 430. How many bottles/cans of each drink did she buy??

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the number of cola bottles Ayesha bought be x. Cost of x cola bottles = ₹15x.

As per the problem she has bought 2x cans of orange juice at ₹25. Cost of 2x cans of orange juice = ₹50x.

As per the problem she has bought 2x - 10 cans of lemonade at ₹20. Cost of 2x - 10 cans of lemonade = ₹40x- 200.

Given total amount spent = ₹430.

Hence 15x + 50x + 40x - 200 = 430

=> 105x = 630

=> x = 6

So Ayesha bought 6 cola bottles, 12 orange juice cans and 2 lemonade cans.
