Peter and mary have total Rs 80.After peter spends Rs 5.25 on a pencil ,he is left 4 times as much money as mary , how does mary have ?
p+m = 80.00
p-5.25 = 4m
Now just find m.
To find out how much money Mary has, we need to use the information given.
Let's assume the amount of money Mary has is represented by 'x' in Rs.
According to the given information, after Peter spends Rs 5.25, he is left with 4 times as much money as Mary. This means that Peter has 4 times the amount Mary has.
So, Peter has 4x Rs after spending Rs 5.25.
Now, we know that the total amount of money they have is Rs 80.
So, we can write the equation: 4x + 5.25 + x = 80
Simplifying the equation, we get: 5x + 5.25 = 80
Subtracting 5.25 from both sides, we get: 5x = 74.75
Dividing both sides by 5, we get: x = 14.95
Therefore, Mary has Rs 14.95.
