Question

Karen bought some pencils and pen. Pencils were 35 more than the pens, the ratio of the pencils of pen was 8: 3 how many each types of did he buy

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let no of pencils =x and pens = y

so x= y+35. (1)

and X/y= 8/3

thus X= 8y/3

substituting this in equation 1

we get 8y/3=y+35

== 5y/3= 35

=== y/3 = 7

thus y= 21 and X= 21+35 = 56
