STORY SUMS
Sahil went to a shop and bought a juice bottle for ` 15.00, a packet of
chips for ` 10.50 and toffees for ` 5.50. How much money should he give to
the shopkeeper?
` p
1 1
Cost of a juice bottle = 1 5 . 0 0
Cost of chips = 1 0 . 5 0
Cost of toffees = + 5 . 5 0
Total amount = 3 1 . 0 0
So, Sahil should give ` 31.00 to the shopkeeper.
My father gave me ` 30.00 to buy a geometry box. Its price was ` 27.25.
How much money should I get back from the shopkeeper?
` p
2 9 100
Total money given = 3 0 . 0 0
Price of the geometry box = – 2 7 . 2 5
Money to be returned = 2 . 7 5
So, the money I should get back from the shopkeeper is ` 2.75.
The cost of 9 packets of potato chips is ` 108.90. Find the cost of 1 packet of
potato chips.
1 2 1 0
9 1 0 8 9 0
Cost of 9 packets = ` 108.90 – 9 Place decimal
Cost of 1 packet = ` 108.90 ÷ 9 1 8 before the last
= ` 12.10 – 1 8 two digits.
0 9
So, the cost of 1 packet of potato – 9
chips is ` 12.10. 0
