you have to expand this question to make it x
Answer:
13 pencils.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the pens and y be the pencils
Given:
Brian purchased pens for 75 cents each and pencils for 40 cents each he bought total of 22 writing utensils for $11.95.
Total pens and pencils is 22
So,
----------------(1)
And he bought all utensils for $11.95. and each pen for 75 cents and pencils for 40 cents.
------------(2)
solve equation 1 and equation 2 for x and y.
From equation 1.

----------------(3)
put y value in equation 2.







Now substitute x value in equation 3.


So, he buy 13 pencils.
You need to calculate 35% of 400.
The way I do this on paper is I split it up into chunks and then add the chunks together.
First I would calculate 10%. To do this, divide 400 by 10, because to get from 100% to 10% you must divide by 10.
So 10% = 40
You need 30%, so you just multiply by 3, because to get from 10% to 30%, you multiply by 3.
So 30% = 120
5% is half of 10% so half of 40 is 20.
So 5% = 20
30% + 5% = 35%
120 + 20 = 140
