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 no. be xTherefore 68x / 100 - 35x / 100 = 1216 Therefore x = 1216 x 100 / 33Therefore 28% of x = 28x / 100 = 1216 x 100 / 33 x 28 / 100= 1216 x 100 x 28 / 33 x 1/100 = 1031.75
