Answer 2

Given,

The cost of 17 pencils is 119/2

To Find,

The cost of each pencil =?

Solution,

We can solve the question as follows:

It is given that the cost of 17 pencils is equal to 119/2. We have to find the cost of each pencil.

$The\: cost\: of\: 17\: pencils = \frac{119}{2}$$= Rs.\: 59.5$

If the cost of 17 pencils is equal to Rs. 59.5, then the cost of one pencil will be equal to Rs. 59.5 divided by 17.

Therefore,

$The\: cost\: of\: each\: pencil = \frac{59.5}{17} = Rs.\: 3.5$

Hence, the cost of each pencil is Rs. 3.5.
