Answer:
0.75
the reason is because if we round it to the nearest tenth . 0.75 becomes 0.8. and 0.075 becomes 0.1 . 0.8 is 8/10th of 1. 0.1 is 1/10th of 1. therefor 0.8 is bigger

percentage change = 
= 
=

Let no. of pens be x.
Pens : x
Pencils: x+8
Total: 2x+8
Student takes 1 pen and 5 pencils.
Remainder: 2x+8 - 5 -1 = 2x+2
2x+2 = 26
2x= 24
x = 12 (original no. of pens)
x+ 8 = 20 (original no of pencils)
There are 12 pens at first and 20 pencils.
After 1 pen is taken, 11 pens are left.
After 5 pencils are taken, 20-5=15 pencils are left.
10(x/2 + 8) = 11, expand
10x/2 + 80 = 11
5x/2 = 11-80= -69
5x = -138
x = - 138/5
