Question

The cost of two pens and three highlighter is Rs.705. If the pen costs Rs.40 ‎more than the highlighter, find the cost of the pen and the highlighter. ‎

Answer 1

Answer:

2p+3h=705

pen costs 50 more than the highlighter

then pen=highlighter+40

=> 2p+3h=705

=>2(h+40)+3h=705

=>2h+80+3h=705

=>5h+80=705

=>5h=705-80=625

=>h=625/5=125

Highlighter= Rs.125

Pen= Rs. 165
