Answer

To find the total amount spent by Rashid on Maths and Science books, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Write down the amounts spent on each book.
- Amount spent on Maths books = Rs. 95.75
- Amount spent on Science books = Rs. 83.60

### Step 2: Add the two amounts together.
- Total amount spent = Amount spent on Maths books + Amount spent on Science books
- Total amount spent = Rs. 95.75 + Rs. 83.60

### Step 3: Align the decimal points for easier addition.
```
95.75
+ 83.60
--------
```

### Step 4: Add the numbers starting from the rightmost column (the hundredths place).
- 5 (hundredths) + 0 (hundredths) = 5 (hundredths)
- 7 (tenths) + 6 (tenths) = 13 (tenths) → Write down 3 and carry over 1 to the next column.
- 5 (units) + 3 (units) + 1 (carried over) = 9 (units)
- 9 (tens) + 8 (tens) = 17 (tens) → Write down 7 and carry over 1 to the next column.
- 1 (carried over) = 1 (hundreds)

### Step 5: Write down the total amount.
- Total amount spent = Rs. 179.35

### Final Answer:
The total amount spent by Rashid is Rs. 179.35.
