Before, finding the answer. Let's find out we can find the answer.

• In this question, we are asked to find, how much money will SHOPKEEPER return to Priya.
• So, to find that, we have to first ADD the money spent on textbooks, notebooks, and STATIONERY items.
• Then, after adding them all. We MUST subtract the money given to the shopkeeper from the money spent by Priya.

________________________

Given :

• Money spent on Textbooks = Rs. 1195.75
• Money spent on notebooks = Rs. 680
• Money spent on Stationery = Rs. 450.87
• Money given to Shopkeeper = Rs. 2500

To find :

• how much money will the shopkeeper return

Solution :

Money spent by Priya = Textbooks + notebooks + Stationery items

                                    = 1195.75 + 680 + 450.87

                                    = 1875.75 + 450.87

                                    = 2326.62

Money RETURNED by Shopkeeper = 2500 - 2326.62

                                                      = 173.38

Therefore, the shopkeeper will return Rs. 173.38 to Priya.
