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

Answer:
91
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the smallest one:
● x is the first number
● x+1 is the second number
● x+2 is the third number
The sum of these numbers is 276
● x+(x+1)+(x+2) =276
● x+x+1+x+2 = 276
● 3x + 3 = 276
Substract 3 from both sides:
● 3x+3-3 = 276-3
● 3x = 273
Divide both sides by 3
● (3x)/3 = 273/3
● x = 91
So the smallest one is 91

Answer:
37ft³
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of the fish tank = length × width × height = 5ft × 3ft × 3ft = 45ft³
Volume of the cubic stone = length × length × length = (2ft)³ = 8ft³
Volume of the water = volume of the fish tank - volume of the cubic stone
i.e Volume of the water = 45ft³ - 8ft³ = 37ft³
