Digiron [165]

<u>Step-by-step explanation:.</u>

I am overcharged  4.52 unit on my cell phone 3 months in a row.

So, net amount I am overcharged = 4.52 \times 3 unit

                                                           = 13.56 unit

So, in the next bill there should be an adjustment of - 13.56 unit. But, here it is given - 13.28 unit only. So, this is incorrect.
