The cost of a book is two times more than the cost of a box, and the cost of the box is two times more than the cost of a pen.

If the cost of the pen is [tex]$x$[/tex], what is the cost of the box?



Answer :

Sure, let's break down the given problem step by step.

1. We are given that the cost of a pen is denoted as [tex]\( x \)[/tex].

2. According to the problem, the cost of the box is two times more than the cost of the pen. This means that if the cost of the pen is [tex]\( x \)[/tex], the cost of the box would be [tex]\( 2 \times x \)[/tex].

Therefore, the cost of the box is [tex]\( 2x \)[/tex].

So, if the cost of the pen is [tex]\( x \)[/tex] rupees, then the cost of the box is [tex]\( 2x \)[/tex] rupees.
