Answer:

24 Pens For Staples and 18 For Raid Aids

Step-by-step explanation:

Ryan spent the same amount of money on both brands

In total, he had bought 42 pens.

So, I have to make a graph and find out at what point did they gain the same amount of money.

Staples:  [s]

.60s (This would be the equation for Staples)

Rite Aid: [r]

.80r (This would be for Rite Aid)

Staples                               Rite Aid              

<u>x | y  </u>                                   <u>x | y</u>

1 | .60                                  1 | .80

2 | 1.2                                  2 | 1.6

3 | 1.8                                  3 | 2.4

4 | 2.4                                4 | 3.2

5 | 3.0                                 5 | 4.0

At 4 pens Staples reach $2.4, while at 3 pens, Rite Aid got $2.4

So then he would have bought 7 pens. But we're looking for 42, which is 6x this amount.

Since the amount of is 6x more, I'll multiply each of the amount of pens by 6.

6(4) = 24 Pens at Staples

6(3) = 18 Peans at Raid Aids

In totals they have 42 pens, but we have to check if they reach the same price.

.60(24) = $ 14.4

.80(18) = $ 14.4

We can now reach to a conclusion that these two amounts are correct.

The amount of pens he bought from each brand(s) are:

Staple: 24 Pens

Raid Aids: 18 Pens

(Sorry I took a while, I was trying to make the graph and stuff!)

The computation shows that the thickness of the beam is 3.75 inches.

<h3>How to calculate the values?</h3>

11. The thickness of the beam will be:

= 3/4 inch × 5

= 3.75 inches.

12. The length of the board will be:

= 7 5/8 × 5

= 38.125 inches.

13. The total height of the stairs will be:

= 8 3/16 × 13

= 106.4375 inches.

14. The height of the stack will be:

= 55 × 3/8in

= 20.625 inches.

15. The length of the board will be:

= 3/4 × 86 1/4

= 64.6875 inches.

16. The number of hours that it'll take to replace the trim will be:

= 37 1/2 × 1/4

= 9.375 hours.

17. The height of the will required will be:

= 22 × 5/12

= 9.167 feet

18. The inches removed from the wood will be:

= 1/16 × 7

= 0.4375 inches.

19. The shortest finish stock will be:

= 3/16 × 15

= 2.8125 feet.

20. The total amount of board wasted will be:

= 3/16 × 11

= 2.0625 inches.

21. The total rise in the staircase will be:

= 22 × 7 3/8

= 162.25 inches.
