Question

An office supply store sells pencils individually or by the case. Pencils purchased individually cost $0.97 each. One case of forty pencils costs $37.20. You have an annual budget of $95.00 for pencils.

Without exceeding the annual budget of $95.00, you can purchase _____ individual pencils.

Answer 1

0.97, add 7 to the five

Answer 2

You can purchase 97 individual pencils because 0.97*97=94.09 and if you do 98 it goes over the mark so 97 is the answer.
