Answer:

a) There were 32 red pens and b) 16 blue pens.

Step-by-step explanation:

3:4

for 3:4 to be 2:1 we should add 5 in order for it to be 8:4 (2:1)

20 divided by 5 is equal to 4

8:4

8 times 4 is equal to 32

4 times 4 is equal to 16

The fountain is $30 per hour. If they spend x hours, then their budget for fountain will be
fountain = 30x

The inequality
Their budget is maximum $250, that means they are able to spend less than or equal to $250
constant + fountain ≤ 250
125 + 30x ≤ 250
