Question

A merchant had Rs.78,592 with her. She placed an order for purchasing 42 radio sets at Rs.1200 each. How much money will remain with her after the purchase?

Answer 1

Hint- Remaining money will be the money left after buying 42 radio sets at Rs.1200 each. Calculate the cost of 42 radios and subtract from merchant money.

Given: Total money merchant had $$=\text{Rs }78,592$$
and cost of 1 radio set $$=\text{Rs }1200$$
$\therefore$Cost of 42 radio sets $=42\times 1200=\text{Rs 504}00$
$\therefore$The total money spent by merchant is $\text{Rs 50400}$.
Money left = Total money – Total money spent
Money left $=\text{Rs 78592}-\text{Rs 50400}$
Money left $=\text{Rs 28192}$
Therefore,$\text{Rs 28192}$ will remain with her after purchasing $42$ radio sets.

Note- In these types of questions, always try to calculate the total money spent first by multiplying the cost of one product with the number of products purchased.
