Answer 2

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of books bought

2204/26=84 and remainder is 10

So he must have bought 84 books and with the remaining amount i.e 26*84=2184

Therefore the remaining amount is 2204-2184=20

So if he had bought 4 pencils with Rs.20 then the cost if each pencil would be Rs.5
