Maya wants to buy some pens of the same price. If she buys 4 pens, she will have $10.40 left. If she buys 6 pens, she will have no money left.
- How much does each pen cost?
- How much does Maya have?
(a)
Cost of 2 pens = $10.40
Cost of each pen
= 10.40 ÷ 2
= $5.20
(b)
Since Maya will have no money left if she buys 6 pens, the amount that she has is the cost of 6 pens.
Amount that Maya has
= 6 x 5.20
= $31.20
Answer(s): (a) $5.20; (b) $31.20
