Answer: The correct option is (C) Packages x 3 = Pens

Step-by-step explanation: Given that each package of pens contains 3 pens.

We are to choose the correct mathematical relation between number of pens and number of packages.

Let, n represents the number of pens and N represents the number of packages.

Then, according to the given information, we have


n* 3=N\\\\\Rightarrow \textup{Packages}* 3=\textup{Pens}.

Thus, the correct relation is

Packages x 3 = Pens.

Option (C) is CORRECT.
