Answer 1

Given:-

• Pankaj bought 3 table fans for Rs.3200 and John bought 5 for Rs.7200.

⠀

To find:-

• Who got a better deal and by how much.

⠀

Solution:-

For Pankaj,

• CP of 3 fans = Rs.3200
• CP of 1 fan = 3200/3 = Rs.1066.667

⠀

For John,

• CP of 5 fans = Rs 7200
• CP of 1 fan = 7200/5 = Rs.1440

⠀

According to the question,

⟹ CP for Pankaj < CP for John

⠀

Therefore,

• Pankaj got a better deal.

⠀

Now,

⟹ 1440 - 1066.667

⟹ Rs.373.333

⠀

Hence,

• Pankaj got a better deal by the difference of Rs.373.333.
