Answer 2

Answer:

Pen costs more by ₹ 2 1/2 or ₹5/2 or ₹2.5 .

Explanation:

Cost of a pen = ₹

$6 \frac{2}{3} = \frac{20}{3}$

Cost of a pencil = ₹

$4 \frac{1}{6} = \frac{25}{6}$

20/3 = 6.67(approximately)

25/6 = 4.17(approximately)

So the pen costs more .

$\frac{20}{3} - \frac{25}{6} = \frac{40 - 25}{6} = \frac{15}{6} = \frac{5}{2} \: or \: = 2\frac{1}{2} \:or \: = 2.5$

Pen costs more by ₹5/2 or ₹2.5 .
