Math Problem Statement
answer is 2.25
Solution
Let's reevaluate the problem given that the price of one pen is known to be ₹ 2.25.
Let:
- be the price of one eraser.
- be the price of one pen.
Given:
- The cost of 6 erasers and 2 pens is ₹ 15:
- The cost of more than 4 erasers (assuming this means 5 erasers) is ₹ 14, and pens for ₹ 9 (which means the remaining balance).
We already have:
Substituting into the first equation:
So, the price of one eraser is ₹ 1.75, and the price of one pen is ₹ 2.25.
Summary:
- Price of one eraser (): ₹ 1.75
- Price of one pen (): ₹ 2.25
