Question

19. Ken bought 8 markers and 20 pens. Each marker cost $2.45. He gave the cashier $100 and received $26 change. What was the cost of each pen?

Answer 1

Each pen costs $2.72

Explanation:

100 - 26 = $74 spent total

8 x 2.45 = $19.60 spent on markers

74 - 19.60 = $54.40 spent on pens

54.40/20 = $2.72 per pen

Answer 2

Answer:
$2.28
Explanation:
2.45 multiplied by 8 is 19.6, 19.6 plus 26 is 45.6. 45.6 divided by 20 is 2.28
