Solution
(1) Bhajan bought new bricks from Brickabad.
Cost of one new brick from Brickabad
= Rs 2000 ÷ 1000
= Rs 2
Cost of 3000 new bricks bought from Brickabad
= Rs 2 × 3000
= Rs 6000
(2) Bhajan bought 500 old bricks and the cost of 1000 old bricks = Rs 1200
We have to find the cost of 500 old bricks, which is half of 1000 bricks.
Cost of 500 old bricks = Rs 1200 ÷ 2
= Rs 600
Thus, the cost of 500 old bricks = Rs 600
