Answer 2

Answer:

The cost of one pencil is 2.5 rupees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Given

The cost of 15 pencils is rupees 75 by 2 i.e. $\frac{75}{2}$.

To find the cost of one pencil divide $\frac{75}{2}$ by 15.

The equation for one pencil will be $\frac{75}{\frac{2}{15} }$.

Step 2

Solve the equation above.

$\frac{75}{2}$×$\frac{1}{15}=\frac{5}{2}$

$\frac{5}{2}=2.5$

Hence, the cost of one pencil is 2.5 rupees.
