Question

Hi I need help because I can’t seem to get the right price for the pencils

Answer 1

If the total cost of a sketchpad and 6 pencils is $22.53, let's subtract the price of the sketchpad, this way we will find the price of 6 pencils:

`22.53-9.99=12.54`

Now, let's divide this cost by 6, this way we can find the price of each pencil:

`(12.54)/(6)=2.09`

Therefore the price of each pencil is $2.09.
