Answer 2

Answer:

18 packets of the crayons that can be purchased for Rs.72.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

John purchased 24 packets of crayons for Rs.96.

To find:-

The number of packets of the crayons that can be purchased for Rs.72.

Step 1 of 1

According to the question,

John purchased 24 packets of crayons for Rs.96, i.e.,

The cost of 24 packets of the crayons = Rs.96

So, the cost of 1 packet of the crayons = 96/24

                                                                 = Rs.4

Let y be the number of packets of the crayons can be purchased for Rs.72.

Since the cost of 1 packet of the crayons is Rs.4.

Then, the cost of y packets of the crayons = 4y

⇒ 72 = 4y

⇒ y = 72/4

⇒ y = 18

Therefore, 18 packets of the crayons that can be purchased for Rs.72.
