Question

If the price of $6$ toys is $Rs.264.37.$ What will be the approximate price of $5$ toys?

• A. $Rs.140$
• B. $Rs.100$
• C. $Rs.200$
• D. $Rs.220$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $Rs.220$

Let the required price be Rs. x.Then, less toys, less cost
$\therefore$ $6:5::264.37:x$
$\Rightarrow$ 6x = (5 $\times$ 264.37)
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{5\times 264.37}{6}\Rightarrow x=220.308$
$\therefore$ Approximate price of 5 toys = Rs. 220
