7 pencils cost £5.95.
How much do 11 pencils cost?

Answer 1

9.35$

Explanation:

to find the cost of 11 pencils first we need to find the price of 1.

5.95 divided by 7 = 0.85$ (the price of one pencil)

we need to find the price of 11 pencils though.

0.85x11= 9.35$

Answer 2

11 pencils cost £9.35.

Explanation:

7 pencils = £5.95

1 pencil = 5.95 ÷ 7

= £0.85

Now,

11 pencils = 11 × 0.85

= £9.35
