Asha packs a lunch for school: 3 pieces of fruit costing ₹8 each, 2 packets of biscuits ₹12 each, a bottle of water ₹15, and a packet of candies ₹5. What is the total cost? If the school canteen gives a 15% discount, how much does she have to pay?

Step-by-step solution

1. Calculate cost of fruit: 3×₹8 = ₹24
2. Calculate cost of biscuits: 2×₹12 = ₹24
3. Add water ₹15 and candies ₹5: ₹24+₹24+₹15+₹5 = ₹68
4. Compute 15% of ₹68: 0.15×₹68 = ₹10.20
5. Subtract discount from total: ₹68‑₹10.20 = ₹57.80
