Question

Adil pays ₹40 for some milk packets. Each packet costs ₹8. What is the total number of milk packets that Adil buys?

• A. 5

Answer 1

The correct option is A 5
Adil has in total ₹40.
Each packet costs ₹8.
∴ Cost price of 1 packet = ₹8

Similarly,
$\text{Cost price of 2 packets =}₹8\times 2=₹16$

$\text{Cost price of 3 packets =}₹8\times 3=₹24$

As we can see, the number of packets is a factor of ₹40.

If we continue in the same process, we get
$\text{the cost price of 5 packets as}₹8\times 5=₹40$

$\text{Or we can also see that}40÷8=5$

∴ Adil buys 5 milk packets.
