Yash purchased 17 packets of pencil for Rs.119. How many packets of the same pencil can be purchased for Rs.75?

$\huge\mathtt{{\colorbox{silver}{★ANSWER★}}}$

Yash brought 17 packets of pencil ✏ for ₹119

Therefore each packet costs,

$\huge \frac{₹119}{17} = ₹7$

Number of packets of the same pencil ✏ that can be brought for ₹75 is,

$\: \frac{₹75}{₹7} = 10( \: remainder \: = ₹5)$

THEREFORE, 10 pencil ✏ packets can be brought leaving out ₹5
