Question 10

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

Answer 1

The cost of 10 pens that Raju purchased = Rs 150

$\therefore$ Raju purchased 1 pen for = $\frac{150}{10}$ = Rs 15

The cost of 7 pens that Manish purchased = Rs 84

$\therefore$ Manish purchases 1 pen for = $\frac{84}{7}$ = Rs 12

Thus, Manish got the pen for cheaper price.
