Question

Raju purchases 10 pens for Rs. 150 and Manish buys 7 pens for Rs. 84. Can you say who got the pens cheaper?

Answer 1

Raju purchase 10 pens for = 150 Rs.

∴ Raju purchases 1 pen for = $\frac{150}{10}$

= 15

Manish purchases 7 pens for = 84 Rs.

∴ Manish purchases 1 pen for =$\frac{ 84}{7}$

= 12

Thus, Manish got the pens cheaper.
