Question

It 5 articles cost Rs 1750, how many more articles can be bought with Rs 2800? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let us say that the price of one article is "A".

Then, 5A=1,750, therefore A=1750/5=350. This means that one article costs Rs. 350.

Now, Rs. 2,800 divided by 350 is 8, so for Rs. 2,800 we would be able to buy 8 of the article.

The question asks how many more of the article we can buy, and the answer is

8–5=3, meaning that for Rs. 2,800 we can buy 3 articles more than we can buy for Rs. 1,750. The answer to the question is 3 articles.
