Question

You have exactly ₹537 to spend on party gifts for your rich uncle's birthday party. You decide to get watches for the ladies (at ₹27.98 each), and beepers for the men (at ₹23.46 each). You know that the number of watches required will be 3 times as much as the number of beepers. How many of each item do you buy?

Answer 1

Answer:

5 and 15

Step-by-step explanation:

the number of watches required will be 3 times as much as the number of beepers

let the number of beepers be x and watches is 3x

then x*23.46+3x*27.98=537

x*23.46+x*83.94=537

107.4x=537

x=5

number of beepers=5

and watches=15
