A teacher has been given £35 to spend on pencils and rulers.

1 answer:

3 0

Packet of 12 pencils = p
Packet of 30 rulers = r

p = £2.15
r = £6.00

£35 = 4r + xp
£35 = 4(£6.00) + x(£2.15)
£35 = £24 + £2.15x
£11 = £2.15x
x = 5.12

Since she can buy 5.12 packets of pencils, it is equal to 5 packets of pencils.
