Question

ashley spends $12 to buy 3 pencils and 6 rulers. Jack spends $8 to buy 5 pencils and 2 rulers. what is the cost of 2 pencils and 2 rulers?

Answer 1

I am guessing 2 rulers are two dollars and 2 pencil are 4 dollars

Answer 2

$ 3 left ashley money

$ 1 left jacks money

$ 8 left ashley money

$ 4 left jacks money

Explanation

3 pencils + 6 rulers = 12 - 9 = 3

5 pencils + 2 rulers = 8 - 7 = 1

12 - 4 = 8

8 - 4 = 4
