Question

8. Mr. Das spent 4299 in such a way that he was left with 1734 only. He spent 2x on pens. 3x on pencils and 4x on erasers. Find out the amount of money spent on each object he bought​

Answer 1

Let the amount spent be x

he spent = 2x + 3x + 4x +1734 = 4299

9x +1734 = 4299

9x =4299 - 1734

9x =2565

x =2565/9

x =285 rupees

money spent on pens = 2x

=2 × 285

=570 rupees

money spent on pencils = 3x

= 3×285

=855 rupees

money spent on erasers =4x

= 4×285

= 1140 rupees

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount that was with him = 4299+1734=6033

2x + 3x + 4x = 4299

9x = 4299

x = 4299/9

x = 474.33

So cost of pens = 948.66

So cost of pencils = 1422.99

So cost of erasers = 1897.35

Verification

948.66 + 1422.99 + 1897.35 + 1734 = 4299 + 1734 = 6033
