find the price of each pen.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Cost of each pen is ₹4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of:

each pencil = 2.45

each pen = a (assumption)

Given,

5pens + 5 pencils = 32.25

=> 5a + (5x2.45) = 32.25

=> 5a  + 12.25 = 32.25

=> 5a = 32.25 - 12.25

=> 5a = 20

=> a = 4

So, the cost of each pen is ₹4.

⇢ 6.45 - 2.45

⇢ 4 Rupees

Therefore, the cost of each pen is rupees 4.

VERIFICATION:

⇢ 1 pen = 4

⇢ 1 pencil = 2.45

⇢ 5 pen = (5 × 4) = 20

⇢ 5 pen + 5 pencil = 32.25
