The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, let's break it down: ### Step 1: Calculate the cost of five pens. - Cost of one pen = Rs 5.20 - Number of pens = 5 - Total cost of five pens = Cost of one pen × Number of pens \[ \text{Total cost of five pens} = 5.20 \times 5 \] \[ = 26.00 \text{ Rs} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the total cost of notebooks. - Total cost of notebooks = Rs 56.25 - Cost of one notebook = Rs 11.25 - To find the number of notebooks, we will divide the total cost of notebooks by the cost of one notebook. \[ \text{Number of notebooks} = \frac{\text{Total cost of notebooks}}{\text{Cost of one notebook}} = \frac{56.25}{11.25} \] \[ = 5 \text{ notebooks} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the total amount spent. - Total amount spent = Cost of five pens + Total cost of notebooks \[ \text{Total amount spent} = 26.00 + 56.25 \] \[ = 82.25 \text{ Rs} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the total amount Arun had initially. - Money left = Rs 90 - Total amount = Money left + Total amount spent \[ \text{Total amount} = 90 + 82.25 \] \[ = 172.25 \text{ Rs} \] ### Final Answer: Arun had Rs 172.25 in the beginning, and he bought 5 notebooks. ---
