Bela has ₹100 for pocket money. She spends ₹5 every day. What amount will be left Class 9
Question 1.
Bela has ₹100 for pocket money. She spends ₹5 every day. Class 9
What amount will be left on the 15th day? How many days will it take for the entire amount to be spent?
Answer:
Amount left with Bela on the nth day = ₹ (100 - 5n).
Substituting n = 15 in 100 - 5n, we get
100 - 5 × 15 = 100 - 75 = 25
∴ The amount left on the 15th day will be ₹25.
ii. The entire amount is spent when the amount left = 0
∴ 100 - 5n = 0
∴ 5n = 100
∴ n = 20
∴ The entire amount will be spent in 20 days.
