1. 6.91 - 1.45 = 5.46
You subtract the notebook from the total cost

2. 5.46 / 0.42 = 13
You divide the cost of a pencil from the left over amount of money to see how many pencils Mark bought

3. Mark bought 13 pencils

B - 13

Okay, we know that Mark brought 1 notebook and the totally is 6.91 while one pencil costs $0.42.

x= number of pencils he brought.
we know the price of 1 notebook + the cost of pencils times the numbers of pencils he brought = total cost.

So the equation will be:

1.45 + 0.42x = 6.91 subtract 1.45 on both sides.
0.42x = 5.46 Then we solve for x by dividing both sides by 0.42
x= 13

So the number of pencils he brought is 13.

A projectile is an object launched into space, and moving under the influence of gravity and momentum. The stone here is an example. Thus, the time taken for the stone to reach the ground is 10 seconds.

On launching of the stone into space, it behaves as a projectile. Thus moving under the influence of gravity and its momentum. Its momentum is the product of its mass and velocity.

The height h, is given as:

h = 16 $t^{2}$ + 32t + 240
