Question

The price of pen is Rs.42 and of a notebook is Rs.18. Calculate how many pens and notebook you can buy for Rs.480 if you want to buy an equal quantity of both

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is 8 pieces of both.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of 1 pen =₹42

Cost of 1 notebook =₹18

So, total cost of one pen and one notebook=₹60 Now, according to question,

Total money given to us for buying=480

Now, Divide the Total money given /Total money expended in one pen and one notebook.

So, 480/60=8

Now, Proof=Total cost of pens =42×8=₹336

Total cost of notebooks=18×8=144

Now, add both values=₹336+₹144=₹480.
