Correct Answer :

Option C

` 100.50

Solution :

The correct option is ` 100.50.

To find the total amount Sohail needs to pay, we need to calculate the total cost of each item based on the quantity bought and then sum them up step-by-step.

Step 1: Calculate the cost of each item purchased

1. Cost of 1 packet of crayons:
1×15.50=15.50

2. Cost of 2 packets of pencils:
2×14.00=28.00

3. Cost of 1 packet of sketch pens:
1×22.50=22.50

4. Cost of 1 scissors:
1×17.00=17.00

5. Cost of 5 sheets of glazed paper:
5×2.50=12.50

6. Cost of 1 pack of decorative stickers:
1×5.00=5.00

Step 2: Add all the individual costs to find the total amount

Total Cost=15.50+28.00+22.50+17.00+12.50+5.00

Adding these step-by-step:
15.50+28.00=43.50
43.50+22.50=66.00
66.00+17.00=83.00
83.00+12.50=95.50
95.50+5.00=100.50

Thus, Sohail is required to pay a total of ` 100.50.
