Question

Emily is buying pens and markers for school. Packs of pens cost $2.75 each and packs of markers cost $3.25 each. If she bought a total 6 packs and spent $17.50, how many of each did she buy? How can i solve this with elimination in steps, i need this soon

Answer 1

17.50 divided by 2.25= 6.36 , so
6 packs of pens then
17.50-(2.25x6) = 13.50
17.50-13.50= 4
so 6 packs of pens one pack of markers hope this helped
