1*5=12.75

2*4=9.6

one pen will be 0.35$

Answer:

pens: $0.35, pencils: $0.20

Step-by-step explanation:

pens=x

pencils=y

5x+4y=255 --> 5x=255-4y --> x = 51 - 4y/5

4x+5y=240

4(51-4y/5) + 5y = 240

204 - 16y/5 + 5y = 240

5y - 16y/5 = 36

25y - 16y = 180

9y = 180

y = 20 cents = $0.20

x = 51 - 4(20)/5

x = 51 - 16

x = 35 cents = $0.35
