Question

Mia was getting ready to go back to school. She purchased 7 pens and a binder that cost $1.25. She spent a total of $7.90. How much did each pen cost?

Answer 1

$0.95

Explanation:

total cost of 7 pens = total amount spent - cost of binder

$7.90 - $1.25 = $6.65

cost of each pen = total cost of 7 pens / 7

$6.65 / 7 = $0.95
