There are pens on sale for 3 pens for 6 dollars. Sasha bought 3 pens. Malachi bought 1 pen. How much more did Sasha spend than Malachi?

Respuesta :

Sasha spent 4 dollars more each pen costs 2 dollars.
6÷3 = 2

Answer:

Sasha spent $4 more than Malachi.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pens are selling at the rate of 3 pens for 6 dollars.

Therefore, cost of one pen = [tex]\frac{6}{3}[/tex]

                                             = $2

Now Sasha bought 3 pens so the cost of 3 pens = 3×2 = $6

Malachi bought 1 pen so Malachi spent for one pen = $2

Difference between Sasha and Malachi expenditure = $6 - $2

= $4

Therefore, Sasha spent $4 more than Malachi.
