Correct question: Shyama had Rs. 24,600 in her purse. She bought clothes worth Rs. 18,200 and groceries worth Rs. 6,400. She borrowed Rs. 20,000 from her friend Rama to buy a carpet. If she had Rs. 2405 left in her purse at the end of shopping, what was the price of the carpet?​

Answer:

The price of the carpet was Rs. 17595.

Given,

Shyama had Rs. 24,600 in her purse. She bought clothes worth Rs. 18,275 and groceries worth Rs. 6,400. She borrowed Rs. 20,000 from her friend Rama to buy a carpet. If she had Rs. 2405 left in her purse at the end of the shopping.

To Find,

The price of the carpet bought by Shyama.

Solution,

The method of finding the price of the carpet bought by Shyama is as follows -

At first, Shyama had Rs. 24,600 in her purse.

So after buying clothes worth Rs. 18,275 and groceries worth Rs. 6,400, she had Rs. $24600-(18200+6400)=0$ left in her purse.

So she had no money left in her purse after buying clothes and groceries.

Then Shyama borrowed Rs. 20000 from her friend Rama and after buying a carpet, there was Rs. 2405 left in her purse.

So the price of the carpet was Rs. $20000-2405=17595.$

Hence, the price of the carpet was Rs. 17595.
