Answer 2

✽ Question ✽

I bought 180 pages for ₹ 24. How much should I pay for 240 pages?

✽ Given ✽

Cost of 180 pages = ₹ 24.

✽ To find ✽

The cost of 240 pages.

✽ Solution ✽

Let the cost of 240 pages be ₹ x.

According to condition,

x:240 :: 24:180

→ x/240 = 24/180

→ 180x = 5760

→ x = 5760/180

→ x = 32

OR

Cost of 180 pages

= ₹ 24

Cost of 1 page

= ₹ (24/180)

Cost of 240 pages

= ₹ (24/180 × 240) = ₹ 32

Cost of 240 pages = ₹ 32
