MATHEMATICS


I went to market today with Rs 1500 in my pocket. I am giving below how much I spent and what was balance each time.

                SPENT                         BALANCE

                  340                             1160
                  680                              480
                  330                              150
                  150                                  0
           ___________              ____________

TOTAL   1500                               1790
           ___________             _____________

Can someone please tell me where did my balance of Rs 290 go?

Why add the balances? This adding has no relevance.This total can never be the same as the cash on hand in the beginning.

The actual way of balancing the account is like this:

Deposit Expenditure Balance
1500 340 1160
680 480
330 150
150 0
------------------------
1500 1500 0

GARDENER :

Right you are, Balance has nothing to do with what I had with me to spend. If you see the following it will be so clear :

Spent Balance

1100 400
250 150
100 50
50 0

Total 1500 600

Take care
