Answer:

The teacher can purchase 61 pencils with $5

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple proportion problem. It can be solved by pure logic reasoning without any formulas

It a dozen pencils cost $0.97, each pencil cost $0.97/12=0.08083

With $5 she will be able to purchase 5/0.08083=61.85 pencils

We must round to the nearest lower integer

The teacher can purchase 61 pencils with $5

Butoxors [25]

Let's assume

x represents the number of $25 tickets

y represents the number of $50 tickets

A total of 1,250 tickets

so, we get

x+y=1250

So, cost of $25 tickets is 25x

So, cost of $50 tickets is 50y

Total cost of tickets =(cost of $25 tickets)+(cost of $50 tickets)

Total cost of tickets =25x+50y

we are given

worth $50,000, were sold

so, we get equation as

25x+50y=50000

we get system of equations as

x+y=1250

25x+50y=50000..............Answer
