Rukevwe stopped by the corner store and read the following list to the attendant:
10 pounds sugar at N1.25 a pound
4 pounds coffee at N1.50 a pound
2 pounds butter at N1.10 a pound ,2 bars soap at 83 kobo each
"How much does that come to?" asked Rukevwe.
"Twenty-two Naira and thirty-six kobo."
"If I gave you three ten Naira notes, how much change would I get?" said Rukevwe.
"Seven Naira and sixty-four Kobo," stated the attendant who appeared to be irritated by all the questions. Rukevwe said, as he disappeared through the door, "I don't want to buy the items...that's our arithmetic lesson for tomorrow, and I needed some help with it."
