Question

Pankaj bought 3 table fans for ₹ 3200 and John bought 5 for ₹ 7200. Who got a better deal and by how much?

Answer 1

Answer:

The first one got a better deal as his per table fan cost is lesser tha 2nd one

Step-by-step explanation:

By how much= 7200/5 - 3200/3

which comes out to be 374 rupees.

Answer 2

Pankaj :

3 table fan = Rs. 3200

1 table fan = Rs. 3200 / 3

=> $\sf\large\underline\blue{Rs.1066.6}$

John :

5 table fan = Rs. 7200

1 table fan = Rs. 1440 / 5

=> $\sf\large\underline\blue{Rs.1440}$

If they bought 5 table fans then,

pankaj => 5 × 1066.6

=> $\sf\large\underline\blue{Rs.5333}$

John => 5 × 1440

=> $\sf\large\underline\blue{Rs.7200}$

Difference :

=> 7200 - 5333

=> $\sf\large\underline\blue{Rs.1867}$

☞ So, Pankaj got a better deal.

☞ He saved Rs. 1867.
