Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

First we need to determine how much money Allen has

2 dollars = 2.00

5 quarters = 5 * .25 = 1.25

2 dimes = 2 * .10 = .20

7 pennies = 7 * .01 = .07

Add this together

2.00 + 1.25+.20+.07 =3.52

3.52 > 3.50

This is more than 3.50 so he has enough money to buy the pencils
