Answer 1

Answer:

Cost of the box of pencils = x = $4

Cost of the notebook = x+2 = 4+2 = $6

Cost of package of pens = 3x = 3(4) = $12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of the box of pencils = x

Cost of the notebook = 2 more than the pencils cost = x+2

Cost of package of pens = 3 times the pencils cost = 3x

The total was $22, so we can say:

(x)+(x+2)+(3x) = 22

5x=22-2

x=20/5

x=$4

Cost of the box of pencils = x = $4

Cost of the notebook = x+2 = 4+2 = $6

Cost of package of pens = 3x = 3(4) = $12
