Question

Whose deals better way in both cases?

(a) Ajit bought $3$ shirts for Rs. $1500$. Aman got $2$ shirts of the same type for Rs. $1186$.

(b) Aman bought $3$ kg pears for Rs. $1080$, whereas Ajit bought $5$ kg pears for Rs. $1825.$

Answer 1

$\left(a\right)$

Ajit:

Cost of $3$ shirts$=$ Rs.$1500$

Cost of $1$ shirt$=$ Rs.$\frac{1500}{3}=$ Rs.$500$

Aman:

Cost of $2$ shirts$=$ Rs.$1186$

Cost of $1$ shirt$=$ Rs.$\frac{1186}{2}=$ Rs.$593$

$\therefore$ Ajit buys the same shirt for less cost than Aman.

Hence, Ajit deals better way than Aman.

$\left(b\right)$

Aman:

Cost of $3$kg of pears$=$Rs.$1080$

Cost of $1$kg of pears$=$Rs.$\frac{1080}{3}=$ Rs.$360$

Ajit:

Cost of $5$kg of pears$=$ Rs.$1825$

Cost of $1$kg of pears$=$ Rs.$\frac{1825}{5}=$ Rs.$365$

$\therefore$Aman buys the same pears for less cost than Ajit.

Hence, Aman deals better way than Ajit.
