A person has Rs 100/- in his pocket, he can as 25 pencils or 15books. He kept 15% of the money for traveling expenses and purchased 5 pencils. So how many books he can purchase with the remaining money.
RE: A person has Rs 100/- in his pocket, he can...
Given the data the man can buy 4 pencils and at most 6 books with some balance because the number of books that he can buy remains a fraction i.e 20/3 . 15/- is kept for travelling expenses and so 68/- remains with him. now he can either buy 85/4 21.25 i.e 21 pencils or 85/(20/3) 12.75 i.e 12 books.
