Question

Amir went to the market to buy a dozen apples, but found himself 4 rupees short. Instead, he bought ten apples and returned with 10 rupees left over. How much is the cost of an apple?​

Answer 1

Answer:

As Amir is short of 4 rupees when he is buying 12 apples and he is left with 10 rupees when buying 10 apples.

So it can be said that if Amir buys 10 apples and in the leftover 10 rupees, if he adds 4 rupees, he can buy 2 more apples.

This concludes that cost of 2 apples is 14 rupees.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of one apple be x,

Let cost of 12 apples =12x

So total money he has is

12x - 4=10x+10

12x-10x=10+4

2x=14

X=7

The cost of one apple is rs 7 and he has rs 80 with him..
