Answer 1

Answer :-

• The cost of the present is Rs 162.

Given :-

• Shayan saves Rs 45 every month.
• He spends 30% of his savings at the end of the year to buy a present for his sister.

To find :-

• The cost of the present.

Step-by-step explanation :-

Before finding the cost of the present, we have to find the savings made by Shayan in a year!

Amount of money saved by Shayan in a month = Rs 45.

We know that :-

• A year has 12 months.

Therefore,

Amount of money saved by him in 1 year = 45 × 12 = Rs 540.

-------------------------------------

Now, as we know his savings, let's find the cost of the present!

• It has been given that at the end of the year, Shayan saved 30% of his savings to buy a present for his sister.

• His savings is Rs 540, so that means he spent 30% of Rs 540 on the present.

Finding 30% of 540 :-

$\sf 30\% \: of \: 540$

Converting 30% into fraction,

$\sf \dfrac{30}{100} \times 540$

Cutting off the zeroes,

$\sf \dfrac{3}{1} \times 54$

Now let's multiply the remaining numbers since we can't reduce them anymore.

$\sf 3 \times 54$

Multiplying 3 with 54,

$\sf 162$

-------------------------------------

• 30% of Rs 540 is Rs 162.

Hence, the cost of the present is Rs 162.
