Let the consecutive odd number be x, x + 2, x + 4 and x + 6 respectively.According to the question x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 = 104 = 4x + 12 = 104 = 4x = 104 - 12 = 92∴ x = 92/4 = 23∴ Required number = x + 4= 23 + 4 = 27
Let the price of a pen be 'x' and that of pencil be 'y' Then 87x + 29y = 783Multiplying eqn (i) by 30/29 we get (87x) x 30/29 + (29y) 30/29 = 783 x 30/29∴ 90x + 30y = 810
Let the number be 10x + y∴ 3x = 4y ......(1)From (I),x + y = 14 .....(2)Solving equations (1) and (2),x = 8, y = 6∴ Number = 86 From (II)y = 75/100 x x ∴ 3x = 4y.Which is the same as eqn (1)
