Price of a each pen = Rs 8.50

Step-by-step explanation:

$Let \: price \: of \: each \: pen = Rs\: x$

According to the problem given,

Five times the price of a pen is ₹ 17 more than three times its price

$5x=3x+17$

$\implies 5x-3x=17$

$\implies 2x=17$

$\implies x = \frac{17}{2}$

$\implies x =Rs\: 8.5$

Therefore,

Price of a each pen = Rs 8.50
