Shopkeeper A sells x items in a day. Shopkeeper B sells y items which is 5 times that of shopkeeper A. The correct representation will be

• A. x = 6y
• B. y = 5x
• C. x = 5y
• D. y = 6x

Answer 1

The correct option is B y = 5x

Number of items sold by Shopkeeper A = x

Given, Shopkeeper B sells y items.

∴ y = 5 $\times$ x
$\Rightarrow$ y = 5x
