Question

Anita And Her Friends Bought Pens . For Five Pens Bought Together They Got A Discount Of Three Rupees And It Cost Them 32 Rupees. Had They Bought The Pens Separately, How Much Would Each Jave To Spend?

Answer 1

Answer:

The price of each pen is Rs.7 and buying separately would cost them Rs. 7 for each.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the number of pens they bought is missing or the cost of each pen is also not given, we assume that they bought 5 pens only.

Let the price of 1 pen be x

So, the price of 5 pens will be 5x

They get a discount of Rs.3 so now the outstanding balance is = 5x-3

Since they paid Rs. 32, this can be equated as- 5x-3 = 32

Hence, 5x= 35 or x = 7

So the cost of each pen is Rs. 7 and hence if they bought separately then it would cost them Rs. 7 each.
