① Ruby purchased a pen for Rs. 24.33, a notebook for Rs. 105.77, and a dress for Rs. 527.37. How much did she spend in all?

Solution:
We need to add the amounts:

$$
24.33 + 105.77 + 527.37
$$

Step-by-step addition:

- $24.33 + 105.77 = 130.10$
- $130.10 + 527.37 = 657.47$

✔ Answer: Rs. 657.47

② The difference between the price of two books is Rs. 37.43. If one of the books cost Rs. 355, find the cost of the other book.

Solution:
Let the cost of the other book be $x$.

We are told:
$$
|355 - x| = 37.43
$$

So, there are two possibilities:
1. $355 - x = 37.43$ → $x = 355 - 37.43 = 317.57$
2. $x - 355 = 37.43$ → $x = 355 + 37.43 = 392.43$

Since the problem says "the difference", both could be valid, but typically we assume the other book is either more or less expensive.

So, the other book could cost Rs. 317.57 or Rs. 392.43.

But unless specified which is more expensive, both answers are mathematically correct.

However, in context, if it's asking for *the* cost, we can say:

✔ Answer: Rs. 317.57 or Rs. 392.43

But usually, such problems expect the smaller value if not specified. So let’s assume the other book is cheaper.

👉 Most likely answer: Rs. 317.57

③ Rachel initially had Rs. 1000.00. She gave Rs. 237.75 to Rob, Rs. 530.17 to Chris, and the remaining to Sara. How much did she give to Sara?

Solution:
Total given to Rob and Chris:
$$
237.75 + 530.17 = 767.92
$$

Remaining for Sara:
$$
1000.00 - 767.92 = 232.08
$$

✔ Answer: Rs. 232.08

⑤ There are two containers. Container 1 holds 1500 ml of water and Container 2 holds 3757 ml of water. Which container holds more water and by how much?

Solution:
Compare:
- Container 2 (3757 ml) > Container 1 (1500 ml)

Difference:
$$
3757 - 1500 = 2257 \text{ ml}
$$

✔ Answer: Container 2 holds more water by 2257 ml

⑥ A cook took out 64.8g of butter from a jar but then found that he had taken out 5.9g more than what he needed. How much butter does he need?

Solution:
He took out 64.8g, but that was 5.9g more than needed.

So, actual amount needed:
$$
64.8 - 5.9 = 58.9 \text{ g}
$$

✔ Answer: 58.9 grams
