Question

You bought a book for $10 and 5 pens. You spent a total of $40. How much did each pen
cost?

Answer 1

Answer: $6

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because you got a book for $10 so you would first minus 10 for the $40 you have and then you have $30 dollars left and 6 x 5 is 30 so then when you add back 10 and the 30 dollars you get the total amount of money.

Answer 2

Each pen costs $6
