Heyy!
Here is your answer!!!
Here, I had taken amount in Rs.
Final Result : 12
Let the total amount of Jolene be Rs. (y) and cost of each pen be (x).
=>Cost of each book = 3x
Now,
Let the no. of pen be (n).
According to the question,
Jolene spent Rs.( 2/3y) on (n)pens and Rs. 1/3 y on 2 books.
=>
Dividing eq. (1) and (2),
we get
2/1 = n/ 6
=>n =12
No. of pens = 12
Hope, you understand my answer and it may helps you.
