Answer 1

Below in bold.

Explanation:

The total sum of the numbers in A is 124 and the sum of the numbers in B = 56

Let x be the number passed from A to B, then from the given information:

124 - x = 56 + x + 20

124 - 56 - 20 = 2x

48 = 2x

x = 24.

a) So the number passed is 24.

b) Sum of numbers in B = 56 + 24 = 80.

c) Let pencil cost x then pen will cost 1.1 - x.

Now the pen costs 1 pound more than the pencil

so 1.1 - x - x = 1

-2x = -0.1

x = 0.05.

So the pen costs 1.1 - 0.05 = £1.05.
