The correct answer is $6

How did we figure out this?

To solve this question, we need to multiply the numbers given.

Given:


10,5,3,2

Therefore, the equation goes like this:


5*2\\3*2

  • 5 x 2 = 10
  • 3 x 2 = 6

Therefore, the correct answer is $6

6 becasue if the pens are doubling the money is doubling. It went from 5 pens to 10 pens. So the money went from $3 to $6
