Question

Pencils are on sale for $0.99 per dozen. Ms. Klein buys 8 pencils for each of her 96 students. How much will she spend on pencils?

Answer 1

Answer:

$63.36

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to determine how many pencils are needed

8 pencils times 96 students

8*96 =768 pencils

A dozen is 12 pencils

Divide the number of pencils needed by 12 to determine how many dozen pencils are needed

768/12 =64

We need 64 dozen pencils

They cost .99 per dozen

64*.99 =63.36

It will cost $63.36 for  the pencils
