Question

A chocolate pastry cost Rs.26 and a fruit pastry cost Rs.18 Jenny buys both

these pastries together for Rs. 500 how many of each did she buy ?

Answer 1

Required Answer:-

Let's assume the no. of chocolate pastry bought = x

and the no: of fruit pastry bought = y

➣ Cost of 1 chocolate pastry = Rs 26

➣ Cost of x chocolate pastry = Rs 26x

➣ Similarly, cost of fruit pastry = Rs 18 y

➣ It is given that the total cost = Rs 500

Therefore, Rs 26x + Rs 18 y = Rs 500

If we assume x = 4 and y = 22 , then

26 x 4 + 18 X 22 = Rs 500

104 + 396 = 500

⇝ No. of chocolate pastries bought = 4 ✔

⇝ No. of fruit pastries bought = 22 ✔

And we're all done! :D
