5 pens and 6 pencils together cost RS 9 and 3 pens and 2 pencils cost RS 5 .find the cost of 1 pen and 1 pencil.​

Answer 1

Answer:

therefore cost of pen is RS 1. 15 and that of pencils is RS 0. 25

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of 1 pen be x .

Let the cost of 1 pencil be y .

So ,

5x+6y=9......(1)

3x+2y=5......(2)

From 1 ,

x = 9-6y/5.....(3)

Placing (3) in (2) ,

3(9-6y/5) +2y = 5

Or , 27-18y/5 +2y =5

Or , -18y+10y=25-27

Or , 8y=2

Or , y= 0.25

Now , placing y=0.25 in (2)

So , x = 1.15
