Question

Maranda is buying pencils and a writing pad for her adult writing class. The writing pad she wants costs $3.50, and each pencil is $0.15 she wants to spend no more than $5 in total of these items.

Answer 1

Hello!

3.50 + 0.15 = 3.65

Because both items would cost $3.50 together, Maranda will be eligible to buy them both and stay within her budget of $5.00.
