How much money Meena have to pay? Correct Answer Rs. 320
Given Data:
Letter weight = 20 grams
Cost price = Rs.15
Calculation:
Price of 20 gram parcel = 15
One parcel weight is 310 grams
⇒ 60 grams + 5 × 50 grams
Price = 55 + 5 × 15
⇒ 55 + 74
⇒ Rs.130
The second Parcel weight is 460 grams
⇒ 60 grams + 8 × 50 grams
⇒ 55 + 8 × 15
⇒ 55 + 120
⇒ Rs. 175
Total price is = 15 + 130 + 175
⇒ Rs. 320
∴ The total price is Rs. 320
