School Tuck Shop Purchasing
Kabir buys a sandwich for ₹32.50, an apple juice bottle for ₹25.00, and a fruit bun for ₹15.50 at the school canteen. He pays with a ₹100 note.
Analytical Task: What is his total canteen bill? How much change should the canteen cashier return to him?
Evaluation & Model Answer:
1. Total bill = ₹32.50 + ₹25.00 + ₹15.50 = ₹(32.50 + 15.50) + ₹25.00 = ₹48.00 + ₹25.00 = ₹73.00.
2. Amount paid = ₹100.00.
3. Change to receive = ₹100.00 - ₹73.00 = ₹27.00.
2. Amount paid = ₹100.00.
3. Change to receive = ₹100.00 - ₹73.00 = ₹27.00.
