He eats subsidized lunch in the college canteen for ₹ 10 on all college days except Saturday when he treats himself to the special lunch for ₹25. Bus fare to college is ₹4 each way. He has got a holiday on Sunday. This week, Nikhil wants to buy a book which costs ₹100. For this, he was walking to and from the college. He is left with ₹3 after buying the book. Assuming no other expenses, how many times did Nikhil walk this week?
Answers
⊕ANSWER⊕
40 goes into the piggy bank leaving Rs.210 for expenses.
Normal expense on lunch is Rs.75 and on bus Rs.48, leaving Rs.87.
Nikhil is short of Rs.13 for the book.
For this, if he saves bus fares, he must walk four times saving Rs.16, and then he is left with Rs.3 after buying the book.
Therefore, the answer is 4 times.
The answer is 4 times.

TO FIND
How many times did Nikhil walk this week?
SOLUTION
We can simply solve the above problem as follows;
Total pocket money = Rs 250
Amount of money Nikhil puts in a week = 5 × 6 + 10 = Rs 40
Amount paid for lunch = 10×5 + 25 = Rs 75
Money spent as bus fare = 8 × 6 = Rs 48
Money left = 250 - (40+75+48) = Rs 87
Price of the book = Rs 100
Amount of money needed = 100-87 = Rs 13
Let the number of times Nikhil walks to school = Rs x
ATQ,
4x - 13 = 3
4x = 3+13
4x = 16; x = 4
Hence, The answer is 4 times.
