1. ✬ Pens = 37800 ✬

   Step-by-step explanation:

   Given:

   • Number of ball point pens packed in 836 packets is 140448.

   To Find:

   • How many such pens are there in 225 packets ?

   Solution: Let the number of pens in 225 packets be x.

   • First of all we have to find that , How many ball point pens are packed in 1 packet ?

   • We can find it by dividing total number of ball point pens by total number of packets.

   ➟ Pens in 1 packet = Total pens/Total packets

   ➟ Pens in 1 packet = 140448/836

   ➟ Pens in 1 packet = 168 pens

   So , We got the number of pens that can be packed in 1 packet.

   • Now to get the number of total pens that can be packed in 225 such packets , we need to multiply.

   ➙ Pens in 225 packets :-

   • Pen in 1 packet × Number of packets

   ➙ x = 168 × 225

   ➙ x = 37,800

   Hence, 37800 ball point pens are there in 225 such packets.
