Question

Ratio of number of pens to pencils is 3:5. Karan paid a total amount of Rs. 51232 to the shop owner. Find the amount spent on buying pencils.

Answer 1

Answer:

$ 32,020

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of money spent on the ratio be x .

So we know that

3x + 5x = 51232 ( Adding the ratio )

8x = 51232

x = 51232 / 8 ( By Transposing Method )

x = 6,404

So we know

3x = Value of Pens

5x = Value of Pencils

So value of Pencils = 5x = ( 5 × 6,404 ) = $ 32,020
