Answer 1

Answer:

a) 24 pencils b) 4 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

First take out total money ,

1 dozen pencil ✏️ = 12 pencils

Cost = 12 rupees

So total money = Amount of pencils * cost

12*2 = 24 rupees

After reducing

PRIZE OF EACH PENCIL = 1 RUPEES

SO I can buy 24 pencils .

After increasing Cost of each pencil is 3 rupees

So total money/cost of each pencil

12/3

4 Pencils.
