Answer 1

Answer:

a pen set 250

one pen costs 3÷2

answer is equal to 6

Answer 2

Answer:

100, 150

Step-by-step Explanation:

Let the cost of a pen = x

then the cost of another pen = 3x/2

Sum of the cost of both the pens = 250

x+3x/2 = 250

By taking LCM, 2x+3x/2 = 250

By cross multiplying, 5x = 250*2 = 500

so, x = 500/5 = 100

Therefore, one pen costs 100, and the other costs 300/2 = 150

I hope I am correct
