Question

The cost of 4 mangoes and 5 pears is Rs 260. If the cost of 1 mango is Rs 40, find the cost of 1 pear.

Answer 1

1 pear = Rs. 20

Explanation:

Multiply 4 by 40

4 x 40 = 160

Subtract 160 with 260

260 - 160 = 100

Divide 100 by 5

100 / 5 = 20

One pear = Rs. 20

Answer 2

Explanation:

cost of 5 pears=260-40*4

=260-160

= Rs 100

cost of 5 pears=Rs 100

cost of 1 pear=Rs 100/5

=Rs 20
