Question

Rahul bought a pencil box for 73.50, a pen set for 68.75 and a paint box for
112.35. He gave the shopkeeper 500 and got back 345.40. He, however,

returned 100 back to the shopkeeper. Was Rahul correct in returning 100 to

the shopkeeper?




plz help step by step​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

total money he gave to the shopkeeper =rs500

sum of all the components he brought from the shop =73.50+68.75+112.35=254.60

so,

rs(500-254.60)=rs345.40

if the shopkeeper had returned him rs345. 40 then, Rahul had done a good job by returning the shopkeeper rs100....
