Problem 2: Meera has three Rs.10 notes and five Rs.2 coins. Jai has two Rs.20 notes and two Rs.5 coins. How much money do they have together?

✔ Solution:

First, calculate Meera’s money:
- Three Rs.10 notes → 3 × 10 = Rs.30
- Five Rs.2 coins → 5 × 2 = Rs.10
→ Total for Meera = 30 + 10 = Rs.40

Now, calculate Jai’s money:
- Two Rs.20 notes → 2 × 20 = Rs.40
- Two Rs.5 coins → 2 × 5 = Rs.10
→ Total for Jai = 40 + 10 = Rs.50

Together: 40 + 50 = Rs.90

✔ Answer: Rs.90

Problem 3: Reya has Rs.100 and the cost of one book is Rs.15. How many books can she buy using her money?

✔ Solution:
We divide total money by cost per book:

100 ÷ 15 = 6.666...

But since she can’t buy a fraction of a book, we take the whole number part → 6 books

Check: 6 × 15 = Rs.90 (which is ≤ Rs.100)
7 × 15 = Rs.105 (too much)

✔ Answer: 6 books
