Maya wants to buy some pens of the same price. If she buys 4 pens, she will have $11.10 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 = $11.10
Cost of each pen
= 11.10 ÷ 2
= $5.55
(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 5.55
= $33.30
Answer(s): (a) $5.55; (b) $33.30
