Linda spent ⁵₈ of her money on 10 pencils and 5 correction tapes. The cost of one correction tape was twice the cost of one pencil. She bought some more correction tapes with ¹₆ of her remaining money. How many correction tapes did Linda buy altogether?

10 pencils and 5 correction tapes	Remaining amount
5x2	3x2
	More correction tapes	Left
	1x1	5x1
10 p	1 p	5 p

Cost of 1 pencil = 1 u
Cost of 1 correction tape = 2 u

Cost of 10 pencils = 10 x 1 u = 10 u
Cost of 5 correction tapes = 5 x 2 u = 10 u

Total cost of 10 pencils and 5 correction tapes
= 10 u + 10 u
= 20 u

10 p = 20 u

1 p = 20 ÷ 10 = 2 u

Amount that Linda used to buy more correction tapes
= 1 p
= 1 x 2 u
= 2 u

Number of more correction tapes that Linda bought
= 2 u ÷ 2 u
= 1

Total number of correction tapes that Linda bought
= 5 + 1
= 6

Answer(s): 6
