Answer 1

Answer:

John paid Rs 28.50 for a sandwich, a cup of tea, and a samosa. The sandwich cost Rs 11.50 more than the cup of tea and Rs 8 more than the sandwich. How much did he pay for the sandwich?

The sandwich cost Rs 8 more than the sandwich? I assume this is an error and the sandwich cost Rs 8 more than the samosa.

Let S be the cost of the sandwich, T be the cost of the tea, and M be the cost of the samosa. The data in the question gives us the following equations:

S+T+M=28.5

S−T=11.5

S−M=8

Adding these together, we get:

(S+T+M)+(S−T)+(S−M)=28.5+11.5+8

This simplifies to:

3S=48

So S is 16.

S−T=11.5

So T is 4.5.

S−M=8

So M is 8.

The sandwich costs Rs 16.00, the tea costs Rs 4.50, and the samosa costs Rs 8.00.
