Question

You ask your best friend to lend you ₹300 to buy your favourite toy. She says she can lend you the money only if you give her an extra ₹3 for every three months that pass before you return it.

What is the total amount you must pay her if you return it after nine months?

Answer 1

Total amount to be paid is ₹309.

Explanation:

We are given that the best friend lends us ₹300 to buy a toy on a condition that we must pay her ₹3 for every three months that pass before we completely return it.

So if we return the money in nine months, then we have to pay her ₹9 extra which makes the total amount to be paid ₹309.

Answer 2

After 9 months, you will return ₹309

Explanation:

The amount of money you borrowed from your friend is ₹300.

If you are paying an extra amount of ₹3 every 3 months, then after 9 months, you are paying an extra amount of ₹9

The total amount you must pay her if you return the money after 9 months is ₹
`300+9=` ₹
`309`
