Answers
Answer:
book=60. one pen cost= 3
Step-by-step explanation:
book + one pen price =63
book + 5 pen price = 75
cost of 4 pen= 75-63= 12
one pen cost = 3
book cost = 63-3 = 60
and one pen cost = 3
The price of the book is= 60 rupees.
The price of the pen is =3 rupess.
Calculations:
According to question,
- 1 book + 1 pen = 63 rupees.
- 1 book + 5 pens = 75 rupees.
Let the price of book be x and the price of the pen be y rupees.
So, the 2 equations according to the question will be:
x + y =63............(i)
x + 5y= 75.........(ii)
Subtracting the 2 equations we have:
x + y =63
x + 5y= 75
- 4y = -12
y = 3
Substituting the value of y in equation 1, we get:
x + 3 = 63
x = 63- 3
x = 60
Thus, the cost of the book = x= 60 rupees.
The cost of each pen = y= 3 rupees
