Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

cost of 5 pens = Rs. 11.25

Vimal paid for the pens = Rs 50

change he received = Rs. 0.50

so, total cost of pens he purchased = Rs. 49.50

so,

no of pens purchased by Vimal = 50 ÷ 11.25 = 4.4

as, given cost of 5 pens is rs. 11.25 so,

4.4 × 5 = 22

therefore, option B is correct

hope this answer helps you dear!
