Soham's father gave him ₹150. He spent ₹48.05 out of the money he received from his father. He has to buy a book for ₹120. How much more money does he need to get from his father?



Answer :

Sure, let's break down the problem step-by-step to find out how much more money Soham needs to get from his father in order to buy the book.

1. Initial Amount of Money:
Soham’s father gave him ₹150.

2. Money Spent:
Soham spent ₹48.05.

3. Calculate Remaining Money:
To find out how much money Soham has left after spending, let's subtract the amount he spent from the initial amount.
[tex]\[ \text{Remaining Money} = \text{Initial Amount} - \text{Money Spent} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Remaining Money} = 150 - 48.05 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Remaining Money} = 101.95 \][/tex]
So, Soham has ₹101.95 left.

4. Cost of the Book:
The book costs ₹120.

5. Money Needed:
To find out how much more money Soham needs to buy the book, we need to subtract the remaining money he has from the cost of the book.
[tex]\[ \text{More Money Needed} = \text{Book Cost} - \text{Remaining Money} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{More Money Needed} = 120 - 101.95 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{More Money Needed} = 18.05 \][/tex]

Therefore, Soham needs an additional ₹18.05 to buy the book.
