The pencils at a store cost $0.65 each. Each pencil weighs 1.85 ounces. All the pencils at the store have a combined weight of 44.4 ounces. How much would it cost to buy all the pencils at the store?

Answer 1

$15.60

Explanation:

Hey there!

In order to solve this word problem, we need to find out how much pencils there are first

To do that, we need to take the total amount of pencil weight, which is 44.4 ounces, and divide that by the weight of one pencil, which is 1.85

44.4 divided by 1.85 is 24

So now we know that there are 24 pencils total in that store

What they are asking is how much does it cost to buy all the pencils in the store

It is already given that one pencil costs $0.65 and we found out that there are 24 pencils in total

So what we need to do is multiply 24 and 0.65 to find out the total cost of all the pencils in the store

24 times 0.65 is 15.60

So the cost to buy all the pencils at the store is $15.60
