Answer 1

Explanation:

The total amount paid by Amar, Akbar & Anthony = 26.85 + 42.75 + 53 = Rs 122.6

Since they had decided to pay the bill in 3:4:5, their actual payments should have been

Since Amar paid Rs., 3.8 less than what he should pay, so he will give 42.75 – 40.81 = Rs 1.95. to Akbar & 53 – 51 = Rs 2. to Anthony.

Answer 2

The amount Q should pay in addition to settling his amount is Rs. 0.80.

Given,

P, Q, and R agree to pay the hotel bills in the ratio of 4:5:6.

P pays the first day's bill of Rs.91.50, Q's second day's bill of Rs.119.20, and R's third day's bill of Rs.149.30.

To Find,

Q should pay in addition to settling his amount.

Solution,

P, Q, and R agree to pay the hotel bills in the ratio of 4:5:6.

So, let's take the bill paid by P, Q, and R to be 4x,5x, and 6x.

P paid Rs.91.50, Q paid Rs.119.20, R paid Rs.149.30.

let's add all the amount paid by them.

= 91.50 + 119.20 + 149.30

= Rs.360.

To find the value of x,

4x+5x+6x = 360

15x = 360

x = Rs. 24.

P's share = 4×24 = Rs.96

Q's share = 5×24 = Rs. 120

R's share = 6×24 = Rs. 144

In order to settle Q's amount,

Q's remaining amount = 120 - 119.20

Q's remaining amount = Rs.0.80.

The amount Q should pay in addition to settling his amount is Rs. 0.80.
