Cost of 1 post-it pad = 1 u
Cost of 1 correction tape = 2 u
Cost of 8 post-it pads = 8 x 1 u = 8 u
Cost of 6 correction tapes = 6 x 2 u = 12 u
Total cost of 8 post-it pads and 6 correction tapes
= 8 u + 12 u
= 20 u
10 p = 20 u
1 p = 20 ÷ 10 = 2 u
Amount that Olivia used to buy more correction tapes
= 1 p
= 1 x 2 u
= 2 u
Number of more correction tapes that Olivia bought
= 2 u ÷ 2 u
= 1
Total number of correction tapes that Olivia bought
= 6 + 1
= 7
