Levi wants to buy some markers of the same price. If she buys 10 markers, she will have $8.40 left. If she buys 12 markers, she will have no money left.
- How much does each marker cost?
- How much does Levi have?
(a)
Cost of 2 markers = $8.40
Cost of each marker
= 8.40 ÷ 2
= $4.20
(b)
Since Levi will have no money left if she buys 12 markers, the amount that she has is the cost of 12 markers.
Amount that Levi has
= 12 x 4.20
= $50.40
Answer(s): (a) $4.20; (b) $50.40
