P + r = 2.50
r = p + 1
p + p + 1 = 2.50
2p + 1 = 2.50
2p = 2.50 - 1
2p = 1.50
p = 1.50/2
p = 0.75 <=== pencil cost 75 cents
r = p + 1
r = 0.75 + 1
r = 1.75 .....ruler cost 1.75

Step-by-step explanation:
This makes sense because April is the rainiest month of the year. It's even shown in the say that April showers bring May flowers.
We need to figure out how much string would be left, after taking away the first two pieces.
We know that the first piece is 20 inches long, so we can say that there is 52-20 inches left, or 32 inches.
The second piece is between 12 and 18 inches, meaning that there would be between 32-12 and 32-18 inches left for the third piece, or 20 and 14 inches. This means that the third piece would be at least 14 inches long, but no more than 20, since we don’t have more string than that (20+12+20=52, and 20+14+18=52)
So we can say that x is greater or equal to 14, but less than or equal to 20, or:
14<=x<=20 (“<=“ is written like a normal “<“ sign with a line _ right under it)
