Let the cost of book be 'y' then cost of pen will be y-6 and cost of bag will be y+8. Altogether cost 53.
=> y+(y-6)+(y+8)=53
=> 3y+2=53

=> y=17(cost of book),
y-6=11(cost of pen), y+8=25(cost of bag)

Let the cost of pen be rupees x
Cost of book=6+x
Cost of bag=8 more than book

3×+20=53
3×=53-20
3×=33
×=33/3

Cost of pen =11 rs
Cost of book=6+11=17rs
Cost of bag=14+11=25rs
