How much change should shikha receive from the shopkeeper? Are you ready for today’s math challenge? Put your arithmetic skills to the test and think about shikha, how much change should she receive from the shopkeeper? Let’s find it out!

Math Challenge

If Shikha bought 6 shirts for Rs. 200 each, how much change does she receive if she gave the shopkeeper Rs. 2000, including the offer shown in the image?

  • A. Rs.1000
  • B. Rs.500
  • C. Rs.1500
  • D. Rs.1200

Answer: A. Rs. 1000

Explanation: 

First, let's calculate the total cost of 6 shirts at Rs. 200 each:

Total cost = 6 x 200 = Rs. 1200

Next, we need to calculate the amount of money Shikha will receive back as per the offer:

For every 3 shirts, Shikha will receive Rs. 100 back. So for 6 shirts, she will receive Rs. 200 back

(2 sets of 3 shirts = Rs. 100 * 2 = Rs. 200).

Now, we can calculate the total amount Shikha has paid after receiving the offer:

Total amount paid = Total cost - Offer amount received

Total amount paid = Rs. 1200 - Rs. 200 = Rs. 1000

Finally, we can calculate the change Shikha will receive by subtracting the total amount paid from the amount she gave to the shopkeeper:

Change = Amount given - Total amount paid

Change = Rs. 2000 - Rs. 1000 = Rs. 1000

Therefore, Shikha will receive Rs. 1000 as a change after buying 6 shirts for Rs. 200 each and availing the offer of "Buy 3 shirts and get Rs. 100 back.”
