Each pencil cost $3.

First you subtract 28 - 10 which equals 18. This is because you already know Aliyah didn’t spend those $10 on pencils. So it says she bought 6 pencils with $18. To find out how much each pencil cost you divide. 18 divided by 6 equals 3. So each pencil costs $3. I hope this helps!
