Question

Anitha and her friends bought pens .for five pens bought together they got a discount of three rupees and it cost them 32rupees. How much would each have to spend

Answer 1

Answer:

Five pens cost 32 rupees after a discount of 3 rupees.

∴ their cost without discount = 32 + 3 = 35 rupees.

∴ cost of five pens (without discount) = 35 rupees

Hence, cost of each pen = 35/5 = 7rupees

Answer 2

Answer:

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.
