Answer:

<u>The number of pens = 120 and the number of pencils = 200</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of pens x, and the number of pencils is y

the cost of one pen $1, and the cost of one pencil $0.5

The cost of the whole purchase was $220

1 * x + 0.5 * y = 220

x + 0.5 y = 220 ⇒ eq.(1)

there were 80 more pencils than pens

y - x = 80 ⇒ eq.(2)

from eq.(2) x = y - 80

By substitution with x from the last equation at eq.(1)

∴ (y - 80) + 0.5 y = 220

1.5y = 220 + 80 = 300

y = 300/1.5 = 200

x = y - 80 = 200 - 80 = 120

<u>So, the number of pens = 120 and the number of pencils = 200</u>

So allison spent 3/5 meaning she saved 2/5 because 3/5 + 2/5 = 5/5

change the 2/5 into decimals by 2 ÷ 5 = 0.4

multiply $55 with 0.4
55 x 0.4 = 22

so she ends up saving $22

Which statement is true about the given information?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer

∴ The true statement is Answer:

The true statement is BD ≅ CE  ⇒ 3rd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

- There is a line contained points B , C , D , E

- All points are equal distance from each other

- That means the distance of BC equal the distance of CD and equal

 the distance of DE

∴ BC = CD = DE

- That means the line id divided into 3 equal parts, each part is one

  third the line

∴ BC = 1/3 BE

∴ CD = 1/3 BE

∴ DE = 1/3 BE

∵ BC = CD

∴ C is the mid-point of BD

∴ BC = 1/2 BD

∵ CD = DE

∴ D is the mid-point of DE

∴ CD = 1/2 CE

- Lets check the answers

* BD = one half BC is not true because BC = one half BD

* BC = one half BE is not true because BC = one third BE

* BD ≅ CE is true because

 BD = BC + CD

 CE = CD + DE

 BC ≅ DE and CD is common

 then BD ≅ CE

* BC ≅ BD is not true because BC is one half BD

∴ The true statement is BD ≅ CE
