Answer 1

Answer : $\bold{Total \: he \: paid \: = \: Rs \: 558.9}$


Explanation -


Finding the cost of 5 kg rice -

1 kg = Rs 45.60

5 kg = 5 x 45.60 = 227 .5

So, Cost of 5 kg rice = Rs 227.5



Finding the cost of 3 kg sugar -

1 kg = Rs 28.60

3 kg = 3 x 28.60 = 85.8

So, Cost of 3 kg sugar = Rs 85.8




Finding total money he paid for rice and sugar -

227.5 + 85.8 = 313.3

So, Total money he paid for rice and sugar = Rs 313.3




Finding total money he paid in the beginning -

Given : money left with him = Rs 245.60

Total cost + Money left

313.3 + 245.6 = 558.9

So, Total money he paid in the beginning = Rs 558.9



Hence :


$\bold{Total \: he \: paid \: = \: Rs \: 558.9}$
