Question

Graciana sold 36 books at £5.20 each, 26 candles at £1.50 each and some pencils at 90p each. She got a total of £244.20. How many pencils did Graciana sell?

Answer 1

20 pencils

Explanation:

36*£5.20 = £187.20

26*£1.50 = £39

£187.20+£39 = £226.2

£244.20 - £226.2 = £18

£18÷£0.90 = 20
