Answer:

Stefanie bought 10 erasers.

Explanation:

Stefanie bought a package of pencils for $1.75 and some erasers that cost $0.25 each. She paid a total of $4.25 for these items.

Beind "x" be the number of erasers bought, you can express Stepanie's purchases by the equation:

1.75 + 0.25*x = 4.25

Solving:

0.25*x = 4.25 - 1.75

0.25*x = 2.5

x= 2.5÷ 0.25

x=10

Stefanie bought 10 erasers.
