<h3>
Answer: 13 pens</h3>
=========================================================
Explanation:
Roy spends 1/4 of his money on 3 pens and 6 notebooks. That means 3/4 of it is leftover.
2/3 of 3/4 = (2/3)*(3/4) = 1/2 of his money is spent on buying some unknown number of additional pens. We'll come back to this later.
---------------
In terms of cost,
1 pen = 3 notebooks
which is another way of saying 1 pen is the same price as 3 notebooks.
Multiply both sides by 2 to get
2 pens = 6 notebooks
Therefore, saying "3 pens + 6 notebooks" is the same as "3 pens + 2 pens = 5 pens" when just thinking about costs.
---------------
In short, Roy buying 3 pens and 6 notebooks is the same as him buying 5 pens. He spends 1/4 = 25% of his money on getting these 5 pens.
Multiply those two values by 2 to find that 50% = 1/2 of his money would allow him to get 10 pens.
--------------
Recall that at the end of the first section, we concluded that Roy spent 1/2 of his money on buying those unknown additional number of pens. Then the previous section mentioned that 1/2 of his money gets him 10 pens. Therefore, he must have bought 10 additional pens on top of the original 3 mentioned in the instructions.
Overall, he purchased 3+10 = 13 pens
