Answer:

$n=7$

Step-by-step explanation:

Cross multiply, isolate the variable, and divide by the coefficient to solve.

$\frac{6}{n}=\frac{24}{28} \\ \\ 24n=168 \\ \\ n=7$

Plug back in to check.

$\frac{6}{7}=0.857142857 \\ \\ \frac{24}{28} =0.857142857$

During a certain week, a post office sold Rs.280 worth of 14-paisas stamps. How many of these stamps did they sell?

Novosadov [1.4K]

So basically ...

You convert the rupees in paisas. One rupee is equal to one hundred paisas, so ...

280 × 100 = 28,000

And then we divide,

28,000 ÷ 14 = 2000

The post office sold 2000 stamps!

Hope this helped! :)
