Not exactly sure how I should phrase this question... But this is what I like to know.. What can you buy with different amounts of currency that is used in your country.. For example, In Tamil Nadu India, a movie ticket in cinemas may cost in the range of Rs.30 - Rs.120 (Depends on the class as well as the cinema) You can drink coffee in road side coffee shop for Rs.6 and can buy a beer in local alcohol shop for Rs.70(Rs.110 in bars). The price of a cigarette ranges from Rs.3 to Rs.5 depending on the size of the cigarettes.. There are also cigarettes costlier than these. You can eat a full meal in a small restaurant for about Rs.30 - Rs.50, can buy groceries for one day's cooking for about Rs.30. The average monthly salary for a data entry job in cities may range between Rs.3000-4000 per month, a salary for freshers in call center job is about Rs.10,000 -13,0000 per month, average starting salary for software programmers is about 30,000 per month.. Rent for a house with single bed room is about Rs.4500 to Rs.7000 per month. This may be very high in main parts of the cities. In smaller towns and cities the rent per month will be less than Rs.3000 per month.. And in villages the rent would be as low as Rs.500 - Rs.1000 per month. In saloons they charge you Rs.10-15 for shaving and about Rs.40 for a hair cut.You may have to pay an average fee of Rs.50 while consulting a doctor. Now can you tell me something like this in your currency in your country..
