Q 10. Raj purchased the following items from the grocery shop :

5 kg wheat = Rs. 38.50 per kg
3 coconuts = Rs. 30 per piece
1 Dettol bottle = Rs. 52.25 per bottle

Answer:

The demand of the shopkeeper is 10 rupee less and i think raj will take those items without correcting cause normally we people always think only of our best nah we dont usually care about others. (lol)

Explanation:

so lets see the calculation :

Since he bought 5 kg wheat at rs. 38.50 per kg then total will be = 5* 38.50 = Rs. 192.5

also he bought 3 coconuts at rs. 30 per piece then total will be = 3* 30 = Rs. 90

Also ,

He bought 1 Dettol at Rs 52.25

Then total will be :

Rs. 52.25 + 90 + 192.5

= Rs. 334.75#

Hope this helped

All the best !!
