Answer: he bought 5 green pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of green pencils that Dustin bought.

Dustin bought 9 pencils. The remainder of the pencils were purple. This means that the number of purple pencils that he bought is 9 - x

Some of the pencils were green and cost $0.90 each. The remainder of the pencils were purple and cost $0.65 each. If Dustin paid $7.10 for all of the pencils, it means that

0.9x + 0.65(9 - x) = 7.1

0.9x + 5.85 - 0.65x = 7.1

0.9x - 0.65x = 7.1 - 5.85

0.25x = 1.25

x = 1.25/0.25

x = 5

Well, this is a stem and leaf problem. 

The numbers are 20, 28, 29, 29, 31, 32, 36, 41, and 42. 

In order to solve for the mean, we find the average and we add the numbers together and divide by 9(there are 9 numbers). 

The mean is 32.
The median is the middle number, or 31.
