​

Answer 1

Hello Mate here is your answer,

The cost of pen is 152/3 and the cost of pencil is 43/4

The cost of pen is more than the cost of pencil

The cost of pen is 39.92 approximately 40 more than the cost of pencil

$\frac{152}{3} = 50.66666 = 50.67 \\ \\ \frac{43}{4} = 10.75 \\ \\ 50.67 - 10.75 = 39.92 = 40$

I hope that helps you,
