The total price of a paintbrush and a pen is Rs. 156. Find the price of a pen if the price of the paintbrush is one-third the price of the pen?
Answer: Rs. 117
Explanation
Let the price of the pen be x.
The price of the paintbrush is 1/3x
Set up the equation.
x + 1/3 x = 156x + 1/3x = 156
Solve for x.
4/3x = 156
x = 156 × 3/4
x = 117
