Answer:

The correct answer will be -

Pranay can purchase 16 comic books.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question -

• Pranay receives 500 as pocket money.
• He spends 0.36 part of the money on buying comic books.
• Each book costs 11.25

We have to find how many books he will purchase -

0.36 part of 500 will be -

$500\times 0.36 = 180$

Now he will spend 180 on buying comic books.

Total number of books he can purchase -

$\frac{180}{11.25}=16$

So he can purchase 16 books.
