Answer 1

Hi,
$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{cost}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{packet}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{crayons}=\mathrm{Rs}.12 \\ \mathrm{money}\mathrm{with}\mathrm{Mohit}=\mathrm{Rs}.96 \\ \mathrm{So}\mathrm{total}\mathrm{number}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{crayons}\mathrm{packets}\mathrm{mohit}\mathrm{can}\mathrm{buy}=\frac{96}{12}=8\mathrm{packets} \\ \mathrm{and}\mathrm{in}\mathrm{each}\mathrm{packets}\mathrm{there}\mathrm{are}10\mathrm{crayons}\mathrm{so} \\ \mathrm{total}\mathrm{number}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{crayons}=10\times 8=80 \end{gathered}$$
