Answer 2

Answer:

You can only buy 29 pencils with $2.95

Each pencil costs $0.10. You'd be able to buy 29 pencils and keep $0.05

You can't buy an extra pencil with $0.05. You need $0.10 to buy a pencil.

Step-by-step explanation:

P=Pencils(s)

n=Number of pencils that can be bought for $2.95

-------------------

nP=$2.95

----------------

But 6P=$0.59

So P=($0.59)/6

------------------

Therefore:

n($0.59/6)=$2.95

n=($2.95)/($0.59/6)

n=30
