Question

Solve the following: If $14$ chairs cost $Rs.5992$, how much has to be paid for $12$ chairs?

Answer 1

Cost of $14$ chairs = $Rs.5,992$
$\therefore$ Cost of $1$ chair = $\frac{5992}{14}=Rs.428$
Hence, Cost of $12$ chairs = $Rs.428\times 12=Rs.5,136$
Thus, the amount of money to be paid for $12$ chairs is $Rs.5,136$.
