Question

A book costs price thrice of a pen. The pen and the book together cost * 96. Find t
cost of book and pen.​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the cost of pen be x. therefore the cost of book = 3x.

Step-by-step explanation:

= 3x + x = 96

= 4x = 96

= x = 96/4 = 24

therefore the cost of the pen is ₹ 24.

the cost of book = 24 × 3 = ₹72

Answer 2

Answer:

pen's cost= x Rs.

book's cost= 3x Rs.

total cost=96 Rs.

So the equation will be-  3x+x=96

                                        4x=96

                                        4x/4=96/4

                                        x= 24

Thus, a pen costs x=24 Rs.

        a book costs= 3x

                             = 3 x 24

                             = 72 Rs.
