1 answer

To calculate the total amount spent by Mrs. Bori:
Tomatoes: N2.50
6 tins of fish at 3 tins for N1.00: 6/3 = 2 groups of N1.00 each = N2.00
Onions: N1.00
20 cups of beans at 25k per cup: 20 * 0.25 = N5.00
1 bottle of palm oil at 90k: N0.90

Total spent = N2.50 + N2.00 + N1.00 + N5.00 + N0.90 = N11.40

Amount she had initially = N20.00
Change = N20.00 - N11.40 = N8.60

Therefore, Mrs. Bori had N8.60 change after buying the above items. The answer is B. N8.60.
