Question 1 - Answer

First, find the number of pens.

25% x 20 = 25/100 x 20
                = 1/4 x 20
                = 5
There are 5 pens in the pencil case.

Next, find the number of rulers.
5 - 1= 4
There are 4 rulers in the pencil case.

Then, find the number of pencils.
20 - ( 5+ 4 ) = 20 - 9
                    = 11
There are 11 pencils in the pencil case.
