Right Answer:
To minimize the number of transactions among a group of 5, follow these steps:

1. **Calculate Net Balances**: For each person, calculate their net balance (total amount owed minus total amount they owe).

2. **Identify Debtors and Creditors**: Separate the group into debtors (those who owe money) and creditors (those who are owed money).

Asked In :-

Right Answer:
The total amount spent is Rs. 1,020.

Comments

Admin Sep 29, 2022

Solution:

As given, we have,

The cost of one pen = 36 Rs.

So, the cost of 15 pens = 36 × 15 = 540 Rs.

The cost of one book = 45 Rs.

So, the cost of 12 books = 45 × 12 = 540 Rs.

The cost of one pencil = 8 Rs.

So, the cost of 10 pencils = 8 × 10 = 80 Rs.

Now,

the cost of each eraser is 40 Rs. less than the combined costs of pen and pencil.

So,

Combined costs of pen and pencil = 36 + 8 = 44 Rs.

Cost of one eraser = 44 - 40 = 4 Rs.

So, the cost of 5 erasers = 4 × 5 = 20 Rs.

Hence,

The total amount spent is

Hence, the total amount spent is 1180 Rs.

Answer: 4200

Explanation:

15:25 => 3:5

9600*10/100 = 960

9600 - 960 = 8640

8640*3/8 = 3240 + 960

= 4200

Suryansh Prakhar Jul 28, 2020

10% of 9600 is 960
Money left= 8640
Their proportions are A:B = 3:5
So A gets 3240 as it has 3 parts of share
So total money recieved by A is 3240+960 = 4200
