Correct Question:-
Madhumita was asked by her cousin to deliver a box containing 20 chocolates to her friend. Madhumita is promised a reward of RS 10 for every chocolate she delivers but also a fine of RS 15 for every chocolate that she eats on her way .If she eats 5 chocolates on her way and delivers the rest , how much money will she recieve from her cousin?
Given :
The number of chocolates in the box = 20 .
The Number of chocolates she eaten = 5
The number of chocolates delivered by her = 10
chocolates eaten on her way = 15.
To find :
Money received by her cousin ?
Solution :-
The chocolates delivered by her = Total chocolates in the box - chocolate eaten by her on way
= 20 - 5 = 15
Therefore , the chocolates delivered by her =15
The total money she received
= (10× the number of chocolates delivered) - (15 chocolates eaten by her on way)
=(10×15) - (15×5)
= 150 - 75
= 75
Hence , money received by her from cousin = Rs.75 .
