Question

2) If 15 pencils cost is 60 what is the cost of 23 such pencils?
​

Answer 1

Given,

Cost of 15 pencils = 60 rupees

To find,

Cost of 23 pencils

Solution,

We have the cost of 15 pencils given which is equal to 60.

Let's find cost of each pencil first.

Cost of each pencil = Cost of 15 pencils/15 pencils

Cost of each pencil = $\frac{60}{15}$ = 4

Therefore, cost of each pencil = 4 rupees

Let's find cost of 23 pencils.

Cost of 23 pencils = 23 x cost of each pencil

Cost of 23 pencils = 23 x 4 = 92 rupees

Hence , cost of 23 pencils is 92 rupees.

Answer 2

Answer:

Hence  the cost of 23 such pencils is Rs.92

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the data given in the above question,

The given value is cost of 15 pencils is Rs.60

We have to find the cost of 23 such pencils.

We have to know the cost of one pencile,

Cost of one pensile is equal to cost of 15 pencils upon number of pencils that is 15.

$=\frac{60}{15} \\=\frac{20}{5}\\=Rs.4$

Now the cost of one pensile is Rs.4

So, the cost of 23 such pencils will be as follow,

$=4\times 23\\=Rs.92$
