Question

16 articles cost rs.72. what will be the cost of 30 such articles. how many such articles can be bought for rs. 207

Answer 1

Given total no. of articles = 16
total cost to buy them= Rs 72
So to find cost of 1 article we need to divide the rupees from articles so
$72 \div 16$
Rs 4.5 ,1 article = Rs 4.5
Therefore each article cost Rs4.5
Now to find the cost of 30 articles
So total cost= 30× 4.5
Rs 135
Therefore the cost to buy 30 articles will be Rs 135
We know that a single article costs Rs 4.5
So to find how much articles will come in Rs 207
So
$207 \div 4.5$
46
Therefore total 46 articles will come under the. cost of Rs 207
