S O L U T I O N :

$\underline{\bf{Given\::}}$

Vinay Spent Rs.60 buying pens & books. On books he spent Rs.15 more than twice the amount that he spent on pencil.

$\underline{\bf{Explanation\::}}$

Let the amount spent on books be Rs.(2x + 15) & let the amount spent on pencil be Rs.x respectively.

A/q

$\longrightarrow\tt{(Books) + (Pencil) = 60}$

$\longrightarrow\tt{2x + 15 + x = 60}$

$\longrightarrow\tt{3x + 15 = 60}$

$\longrightarrow\tt{3x =60 -15}$

$\longrightarrow\tt{3x =45}$

$\longrightarrow\tt{x = \cancel{45/3}}$

$\longrightarrow\bf{x = Rs.15}$

Thus,

The amount he spent on books will = Rs.2(15) + 15 = Rs.30 + 15 = Rs.45

The amount he spent on pencil will = Rs.15 .
