To find:

what is the cost of 3 pencils?​

12 pencil = Rs. 60

Steps To Solve:

==> so, Find the one pencil cost

==> From that cost of one pencil we can find the cost of three pencil

==> Both sides we have to divide by 12 to get Cost of One pencil

==> After that, Multiply by 3 on both sides to get cost of three pencil.

12 pencil = Rs.60

Divided by 12

==>12÷12 = 60÷12

==> 1 pencil = Rs.5

==> Cost of one pencil is Rs.5

==> Multiply by 3
