Question

A shop sells packs of black pens, packs of red pens and packs of green pens. a total of 212 pens were sold. work out the number of green pens sold.

Let's assume the number of black pens sold is represented by x, the number of red pens sold is represented by y , and the number of green pens sold is represented by z.

According to the given information, the total number of pens sold is 212. Therefore, we can write the equation:

x + y + z = 212

-Since I don't have any specific information regarding the number of pens sold for each color, I cannot determine the exact value of x or y. But i can solve for z if we have information about the values of x and y. If you have any additional information regarding the number of black and red pens sold, please let me know, and I can help you further. Good day!^^-
