Question

Rajesh buys two shirts from a shop and pays the shopkeeper ₹500. The shopkeeper returns an amount of ₹100. Express this situation as an equation if the cost of one shirt is ₹

Answer 1

Two shirts = 2x

Amount of the shirt = Rs 500

Return Amount = 100

Hence the equation comes :

2x = 500 - 100

2x = 400

x = 400 / 2

x = 200

Therefore the cost of one shirt is Rs 200
