Question 1112551
Cheryl had enough money to buy either 16 pens or 24 erasers.She spent all her money on these 2 items.
If she brought 12 pens, how many erasers did she buy?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
According to the condition, 16 pens cost the same amount as 24 erasers.


Hence, 4 pens cost the same amount as 6 erasers.


Cheryl bought 12 pens, hence the remainder of her money is equivalent to 4 pens, which in turn is equivalent to 6 erasers.


<U>Answer</U>.  Cheryl bought 12 pens and 6 erasers.
