Q1 of 33 Page 37

Anita and her friends bought pens. For five pens bought together, they got a discount of three rupees and it cost them 32 rupees. Had they bought the pens separately, how much would each have to spend?

Five pens cost 32 rupees after a discount of 3 rupees.

∴ their cost without discount = 32 + 3 = 35 rupees.


∴ cost of five pens (without discount) = 35 rupees


Hence, cost of each pen = 35/5 = 7rupees
