A box had some pens in it when the pens are distributed equally to 18children ,none remained but while distributing to 19 children ,5children got 1 pen less than the others. how many pens were there in the box

Answers 2

Let the no. of pens in the box be x and

the no. of pens being distributed be y.

18 * y = x;

x + 5 = 19* y

x + 5 = 19* y

18 * y + 5 = 19* y

5 = 19y - 18y

y = 5

Hence, x = 18 * 5 = 90

Answer:

Y=5

X= 90...…
