Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

Five pencils cost ₹ 32.50 and 8 pens cost ₹72.

To find :-

Find the ratio of the price of one pen to the pencil?

Solution :-

Given that

The cost of 5 pencils = ₹ 32.50

The cost of 1 pencil = ₹ 32.50 /5

= ₹ 6.50

Therefore, The cost of one pencil = ₹ 6.50

The Cost of 8 pens = ₹ 72

The cost of one pen = ₹ 72/8

= ₹ 9

The cost of one pen = ₹ 9

The ratio of the price of one pen to that of one pencil

= 9 : 6.50

=> 9/6.5

=> 9/(65/10)

=> 9/(13/2)

=> 9×(2/13)

=> (9×2)/13

=> 18/13

=> 18:13

Required ratio = 18:13

Answer:-

The ratio of the price of one pen to that of one pencil = 18:13

Used formulae:-
