Riya buys 5 identical books, each costing ₹14 25 paise, and a pen costing ₹2 50 paise. She pays ₹80.00 rupees. How much change will she receive?

Step-by-step solution

1. Compute cost of books: 5 × ₹14 25 paise = 5 × 1425 paise = 7125 paise = ₹71 25 paise.
2. Convert pen cost: ₹2 50 paise = 250 paise.
3. Add book cost and pen cost: 7125 + 250 = 7375 paise = ₹73 75 paise.
4. Convert payment to paise: ₹80.00 = 80 × 100 = 8000 paise.
5. Subtract total cost from payment: 8000 – 7375 = 625 paise.
6. Convert the remaining paise back to rupees: 625 paise = ₹6 25 paise.
7. Change: ₹6 25 paise.
