Question

Raghu bought some pencils and pens.Pencils were 35 more than the pens.If the ratio of the pencils to the pens was 8:3,how many of each type did he buy? ​

Answer 1

Let the ratio be 8x:3x

The difference between both ratio is 5x and numerical it is 35
So, x = 35/5
x = 7

Ratio be becomes 8(7) : 3(7)
= 56 : 21

Total things bought = 56+21
= 77

Out of which
Pencils = 56
Pen = 21
