Answer 1

Hey mate your answer is
$140 - 7 = 140 \\ 68 - 8 =60$
So she distribute 140 pens and 60 pencils

Answer 2

Answer:

The number of people, Reema distributed the pens and pencils to is found to be: 200.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that Reema has distributed each friend with either a single pen or a single pencil, we can find the number of people who attended her party by adding the number of pencils and pens and subtracting the number of left items from it.
So, now, we are given that the number of pens, she bought were 147, out of which 7 were left,

Thus, number of pens distributed to the friends: 147 - 7 = 140

Similarly, number of pencils Reema bought were 68, out of which 8 were left,

Thus, number of pencils distributed to friends: 68 - 8 = 60

Now, the total number of people to whom either of the pen or a pencil were distributed will be: 140 + 60 = 200

Thus, there were 200 people to whom she distributed.
