The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the Variables Let the cost of the burger be \( x \) (in Rs). ### Step 2: Express the Cost of Pizza According to the problem, the cost of pizza is \( 2\frac{1}{2} \) times the cost of the burger. We can convert \( 2\frac{1}{2} \) into an improper fraction: \[ 2\frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{2} \] Thus, the cost of pizza can be expressed as: \[ \text{Cost of Pizza} = \frac{5}{2}x \] ### Step 3: Set Up the Equation The problem states that the sum of the cost of one burger and one pizza is Rs. 105. Therefore, we can set up the following equation: \[ x + \frac{5}{2}x = 105 \] ### Step 4: Combine Like Terms To combine the terms on the left side of the equation, we can express \( x \) as \( \frac{2}{2}x \): \[ \frac{2}{2}x + \frac{5}{2}x = 105 \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{7}{2}x = 105 \] ### Step 5: Solve for \( x \) To isolate \( x \), we can multiply both sides of the equation by \( \frac{2}{7} \): \[ x = 105 \times \frac{2}{7} \] Calculating the right side: \[ x = 105 \div 7 \times 2 = 15 \times 2 = 30 \] ### Step 6: Conclusion Thus, the cost of the burger is: \[ \text{Cost of Burger} = Rs. 30 \] ---
