Question

Mrs sorenstam bought one ruler, one compass, and one mechanical pencil at the same price as shown in the table for each other for 12 students.A: suppose Mrs sorenstam had $0.36 left after buying the school supplies. Write an equation to find out the amount of money Mrs sorenstam initially had to spend on each student. B: solve the equation.

Answer 1

Number of students = 12

Money remained = $0.36

Student spends = 1.49 + .59 + .49 = $2.57 for each student

Now multiply 12x 2.57 = $30.84

Then now add $0.36

$30.84 + $0.36 = $31.2

Then we conclude that

Mrs Sorenstam spent $31.2 in supplies for 12 students.
