Answer:

D . $ 1.10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the cost of each pen

x-0.40 be the cost of each pencil

12x + 20(x-0.40) = $16 is the equation

Solve the equation:

12x + 20x - 8 = 16

32x = 24

x = 0.75 is the cost of each pen

x- 0.40 = 0.35 is the cost of each pencil

( I doubled checked with a calculator ) :)
