Answer:

All of these terms are dollar amounts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, x + y = 10 (where these numerals represent counts)

(1/2)x + (1/4)y = 4 (where (1/2), (1/4) and 4 are dollar amounts)

Let's eliminate y.  To accomplish this, mult. the 2nd eq'n by-4, obtaining

-2x - y = -16, and then combining this with the 1st equation, as follows:

-2x - y = -16

  x + y = 10

-------------------

 -x  = -6, or x = 6.  This represents the number of pens purchased by Terrance.  

Subbing 6 for x in the first equation, we get y = 4.  This represents the number of pencils he bought.

($0.50)x + ($0.25)y = $4.00 (dollar amounts)
