A friend of Rupal has ₹ 8 left out of ₹ 50. She wanted to know how much money she spent. Let us see her way of finding it.
₹ 8 is left with me and I have spent ₹ 20 on rides, which is ₹ 28. Then, I have spent ₹ 20 on snacks, which is ₹ 48 and I spent ₹ 2 more on candies, which is ₹ 50. Total, I have spent ₹ 42.
₹ 8 + ₹ 20 = ₹ 28
₹ 28 + ₹ 20 = ₹ 48
₹ 48 + ₹ 2 = ₹ 50
₹ 42
