Question

The Ayesha buys some bottles of cola at rs 15 each and twice as many cups of orange juice at 25 each. She also buys 20 fewer cans of lemonade than orange at rs 20 each. She spends rs 430. How many bottles/cans of each drink did she buy

Answer 1

Let the number of cola bottles Ayesha bought be x. Cost of x cola bottles = *15x.

As per the problem she has bought 2x cans of orange juice at 25. Cost of 2x cans of orange juice = 50x.

As per the problem she has bought 2x-10 cans of lemonade at 20. Cost of 2x-10 cans of lemonade = *40x- 200.

Given total amount spent = 430.

Hence 15x + 50x + 40x - 200 = 430

=> 105x = 630

=> x = 6

So Ayesha bought 6 cola bottles, 12 orange juice cans and 2 lemonade cans.
