Question

If cost of 12 pens is ₹134, then what will be the cost of 5 such pen( please explain by method, don't answer directly)

Answer 1

First you need to divide ₹134 by 12 to find the cost of each pen.

$\frac{134}{12} = \frac{67}{6}$

Multiply the cost of each pen by 5 to find the cost of 5 pens.

$( \frac{67}{6} ) \times 5 = \frac{335}{6}$

≈ ₹55.8 (correct to 1 decimal place)
