Question

Ezekiel has a $35 budget for school supplies, and he's already spent half of it on notebooks

and binders. Now he needs some pens. If pens only come in packs of 12 and they cost $5
per pack, what's the maximum number of pens he can afford with the rest of his budget?
A) 42 pens
B) 36 pens
C) 3 pens
D) 3.5 pens

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

let's list everything out.

$35 for school supplies

$17.5 has already been used

$17.5 is left

pens only come in packs of 12

one pack of pens is $5

ok, so we know its definitely not C or D because they are less than 12

42 is not divisible by 12

since packs only come in 12's then it must be B.

good luck my friend!
