Answer:


\large{ \tt{❃ \: STEP - BY - STEP \: EXPLANATION : }}

  • We're provided - price of 6 books = Rs 480 & we're asked to find out the price of 3 books.

  • Firstly , find out the price of 1 book.Use the unitary method for obtaining unit quantity. For the cost of 1 book , the cost of 6 books should be divided by 6 [ i.e 480 / 6 ].


\large{ \tt{↦ \: PRICE \: OF \: 1 \: BOOK = (480)/(6) = \boxed{ \tt{Rs \: 80}}}}

  • Secondly , Find out the price of 3 book as we're asked above. Since the cost of 3 books is more than that of 1 book, the cost of 1 book should be multiplied by 3 [ i.e 80 × 3 ]


\large{ \tt{↦ \: PRICE \: OF \: 3 \: BOOK = 80 * 3 = \boxed{ \boxed{ \tt{Rs \: 240}}}}}

  • And we're done!


\large{ \boxed{ \boxed{ \tt{⇝ \: OUR \: FINAL \: ANSWER : \boxed{ \underline{ \tt{Rs \: 240}}}}}}}

3 is half of 6, so the price for 3 would be half the price of 6 books.

480/2 = 240

The price for 3 books is 240
