Answer:

The total cost (in dollars) of p pens is C = 0.09 p

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of each pen = 9 cents

Now, 1 cent = $0.01 cents

⇒ 9 cents = $0.09

So, the cost of 1 pen = $0.09

The number of pens purchased= p

Let the total cost of p pens = c

Also, the cost of p pens = p x ( Cost of 1 pen) = p ( $0.09) = 0.09 p

or, C = 0.09 p

Hence the total cost (in dollars) of p pens is C = 0.09 p.

Answer: B: It has a negative charge.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to theory espoused by the French physicist, Charles-Augustin de Coulomb, like charges charges will repel each other and unlike charges will attract one another.

This means that objects with negative charges will repel each other. As the first balloon in the question was negatively charged, it would only repel the other balloon if it was negatively charged as well.
