Question

Simran had ₹35 to spend on 5 books. After buying them she had ₹10 left. Find the cost of each book.

• A. 6
• B. 7
• C. 4
• D. 5

Answer 1

The correct option is D 5

Given that,
Total amount Simran had = ₹35
Total number of books bought = 5
Total amount left after buying books = ₹10
Total amount she spent = 35-10 = ₹25
Let, the cost of each book = x
$\Rightarrow$ 5x = 25
Cost of each book, x = $\frac{25}{5}$ = ₹ 5
