Question

Ramesh buys 100 candies for 1 $. He purchases three different candies with three different prices- $.01, $.02 and $.05. 10 candies were bought at $.01. Find out the number of each type of candies bought.

Answer 1

Answer:

from the given we conclude that from remaining $0.9 rajesh purchases 90 candies worth $.05 and $.02. Hence we get two equations => x+y=90 ; and 5x+2y=90; On solving we get x($0.5 Candies) = -30 and y = 120 which means there is a fault in the question.
