Question

Amanda only has $30 to buy pens and notebooks. Each pen costs $2. Each notebook coats $3. Which of the following graph represents the possible combinations of pens and notebooks that she may purchase?

Answer 1

3p + 8n, 12p + 2n, 9p+4n, 6p+6n

8 columns bar graph.

Explanation:

$2 = pen

$3 = notebook

This could be written as a bar graph in multiples of $6.00 along y axes.

3 pens + 8 notebooks. Then 12 pens + 2 notebooks.

Then 9 pens + 4 notebooks . Then 6 pens + 6 notebooks

3p + 8n, 12p + 2n, 9p+4n, 6p + 6n

3p = $6

8n = $24

12p = $24

2n = $6

9p = $18

4n = $12

6p = $12

6n = $18

and so on...
