Answer:

I can't draw a picture for you! But I can give you the answer so maybe you can figure out a picture yourself. The answer is: 31

Explanation:

If you have 84 total pencils and you know that 53 are regular pencils all you have to do is subtract 53 from 84. So you would do 84-53=31

So therefore 31 of the pencils are colored. Hope this helps!
