The correct Answer is:
To determine which shop is selling pens at a lower price, we will calculate the price of one pen from each shop. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Calculate the price of one pen from the first shop:** - The first shop sells 26 pens for Rs. 234. - To find the price of one pen, we divide the total cost by the number of pens: \[ \text{Price per pen in first shop} = \frac{234}{26} \] - Performing the division: \[ \frac{234}{26} = 9 \] - Therefore, the price of one pen in the first shop is Rs. 9. 2. **Calculate the price of one pen from the second shop:** - The second shop sells 19 pens for Rs. 152. - To find the price of one pen, we again divide the total cost by the number of pens: \[ \text{Price per pen in second shop} = \frac{152}{19} \] - Performing the division: \[ \frac{152}{19} = 8 \] - Therefore, the price of one pen in the second shop is Rs. 8. 3. **Compare the prices:** - From the first shop, the price of one pen is Rs. 9. - From the second shop, the price of one pen is Rs. 8. - Since Rs. 8 is less than Rs. 9, the second shop sells pens at a lower price. 4. **Conclusion:** - The second shop is selling pens at the least price.
