pencils?
7750
A) $34.50
C) $22.50
B) $12.00
D) $21.60

Respuesta :

Answer: A) $34.50

Step-by-step explanation:

He bought:

Binders=5(4.50) = $22.50

Pencils=6 for $3.60

To find how much he spent on 20 pencils, find how much one pencil costs. If he bought 6 for $3.60, divide.

[tex]\frac{3.60}{6} =0.60[/tex]

Now multiply by 20.

[tex]0.60*20=12.00[/tex]

So, he spent $12.00 on pencils. Add this to the price of the 5 binders:

[tex]22.50+12.00=34.50[/tex]

Answer:

The answer is A

Step-by-step explanation:

4.50 x 5 = 22.5

6 goes into 20, 3 times

3.60 x 3 = 10.8

10.8 + 22.5 = 33.3

then we have the remaining 2 of the 20

divide 2 by 3.60 = .5555...
