and a pen.
Answers
Answer: cost of one notebook = 27.5 rupees and cost of one pen = 3 rupees.
Step-by-step explanation:
let the cost of one notebook be x and one pen be y.
according to minnu 8x + y = 223
according to chinnu 10x = 275
so x = 27.5
putting this value in the first equation 8 * 27.5 + y = 223
y = 223 - 220
y = 3
Hope this helps!!!!!!
Solution :-
Let us assume that, cost of one notebook is Rs. N and cost of a pen is Rs. P .
So,
→ 8 notebook cost + 1 pen cost = Rs. 223
→ 8N + P = 223 ------- Eqn.(1)
also,
→ 10 notebook cost = Rs. 275
→ 10N = 275
dividing both sides by 10,
→ N = Rs. 27.5
putting value of N in Eqn.(1) now,
→ 8 * 27.5 + P = 223
→ 220 + P = 223
→ P = Rs. 3
therefore, the cost of one notebook is Rs. 27.5 and a pen is Rs. 3 .
