Cost of 1 notebook = 1 u
Cost of 1 pen = 2 u
Cost of 10 notebooks = 10 x 1 u = 10 u
Cost of 9 pens = 9 x 2 u = 18 u
Cost of 10 notebooks + 9 pens
= 10 u + 18 u
= 28 u
4 p = 28 u
1 p = 28 u ÷ 4 = 7 u
Amount of remaining money that Abi spent on buying more notebooks
=
67 x 7 u
= 6 u
Number of notebooks that Abi bought with
67 of her remaining money
= 6 u ÷ 1 u
= 6
Total number of notebooks that Abi bought
= 10 + 6
= 16
Answer(s): 16
