To help you understand this question, we will create a new temporary word. We will call every 4 pencils a "pencilor". So a "pencilor" cost 3 rupees.
How many "pencilor" is there in 20 pencils? Well, 20 = 4 x 5, meaning there are 5 groups of 4 => there are 5 "pencilors". If each "pencilor" cost 3 rupees, how much does 5 cost? 3 x 5 = 15 rupees. And you are done.

Well, isn't that just a happy little math problem! If 12 pencils cost 96 cents, we can find out how much 1 pencil costs by dividing 96 by 12, which equals 8 cents per pencil.
