Question

Jennifer had $24 to spend on five pens. After buying them she had $14. How much did each pen cost

Answer 1

Answer:

Jennifer used $24-14=10 dollars in total.

The $10 was spend on five pens, each pen costing say, x, dollars.

The equation would be 10 = 5x

x = 10÷5= $2

So each pen costs $2 :)
