Question

Accepted Answer

Let the number of pens Akshay bought be X. The price per pen is ₹10, so the total cost of pens is 10X. The price per notebook is ₹20, and he bought 6 notebooks, so the total cost of notebooks is 20 × 6 = ₹120. The total amount spent is ₹180. Therefore, we set up the equation: 10X + 120 = 180. Subtract 120 from both sides: 10X = 60. Divide both sides by 10: X = 6. Thus, Akshay bought 6 pens.
