1.One hall, one doll and one toy giraffe.
Ans.Price of one ball = Rs 7.00
Price of one doll = Rs 8.00
Price of one toy giraffe = Rs 6.50
So, total cost = Rs7.00 + Rs 8.00 + Rs 6.50 = Rs 21.50
Money left = Total money – money spent
= Rs 30.0021. 50 = Rs 8.50

So, price of 2 bananas = 1.50 x2=Rs 3.00
Price of one pack of biscuit = Rs 4.50
Price of one glass lemon juice = Rs 3.00
So, price of two glasses of lemon juice = 3.00 x2 = Rs 6.00
Total cost = Rs 3.00 + Rs 4.50 + Rs 6.00 = 13.50
Money left = Total money – Money spent = Rs 30.00 – Rs 13.50 = Rs 16.50
