Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

price of 1 pen= $ 2

price of 1 pencil= $1

total money spent= $12

Let the number of pen be a and number of pencil be b.

 2 a + b = 12   ----------------Equation 1

We have, she bought 3 more pens than pencils

  a - b = 3   ------------------  Equation 2

 Equation 1 +Equation 2,  

   2 a + b +  a - b = 12 + 3

                     3a = 15

                     a = 5

 Substituting in  equation

           5 - b = 3

               b = 2

 Number pencils Ava bought = 2

xenn [34]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Total amount to spend = $55

Amount of food and drinks purchased = $14.25

I think you meant it to be not repeating 3 times so
You do 192/3 is 60*3= 180 leaving you with 12 which is 4*3. So 64 is A
Then it’s 300/5 which is 60
455/7. So first see, if I multiply 7 by 60 is it over or under. If it’s over then B is the least and if it is less then C is the least. So 7 *60 is 420
C Being greater, b costs least per night

Worth 80 points!! It's alot for me to understand and i wanna get it right someone help?
Mandarinka [93]

Add all the new budget amounts:

510 + 254 + 295 + 51 + 0 + 100 + 100+ 0 + 100 = 1410


Her monthly total is 1410, which is less than her income of 1700

1700 - 1410 = 290

She has $290 extra each month.

So she can divide that amount by 2 to put an equal amount in each blank category, or add what ever amount less than that into each one.
