Answer 2

✬ Pens = 37800 ✬

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• Number of ball point pens packed in 836 packets is 140448.

To Find:

• How many such pens are there in 225 packets ?

Solution: Let the number of pens in 225 packets be x.

• First of all we have to find that , How many ball point pens are packed in 1 packet ?

• We can find it by dividing total number of ball point pens by total number of packets.

➟ Pens in 1 packet = Total pens/Total packets

➟ Pens in 1 packet = 140448/836

➟ Pens in 1 packet = 168 pens

So , We got the number of pens that can be packed in 1 packet.

• Now to get the number of total pens that can be packed in 225 such packets , we need to multiply.

➙ Pens in 225 packets :-

• Pen in 1 packet × Number of packets

➙ x = 168 × 225

➙ x = 37,800

Hence, 37800 ball point pens are there in 225 such packets.
