Shopping and Bills
For our daily needs we go to shops or supermarkets and buy different
things. After the purchase, the shopkeeper prepares a list showing the
details of items selected and their costs with the rate of each item. The
detail prepared on a piece of paper is called bill. When we check the bill
and satisfy with it, we pay the sum of money reflected on it.
Here is a bill received by Mrs. Sanya.
Bill No. 0583 Safal Store
Date: 29.07.2024 Gandhi Road, Chennai
Item Rate (`/kg) Quantity (in kg) Amount (in `)
Onions 26.50 2 53.00
Potatoes 28.00 1 28.00
Tomatoes 50.00 0.5 25.00
Peas 60.00 1.5 90.00
Cabbage 55.50 4 222.00
Total 418.00
Sanya checked the receipt very carefully. She assured that the bill had no errors.
Then, she gave a 500-rupee note at the cash counter. The cashier returned
her `82.
What is to be checked for the correction of the bill?
Ensure that the quantity of each item is as per requirement.
The product of rate per unit and quantity of each item is correctly
entered under the amount column.
The total is correct. (This is the amount to be paid.)
The cash back is correct. (Here, `500 – `418 = `82)
