Answer:
<u>The number of pens = 120 and the number of pencils = 200</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of pens x, and the number of pencils is y
the cost of one pen $1, and the cost of one pencil $0.5
The cost of the whole purchase was $220
1 * x + 0.5 * y = 220
x + 0.5 y = 220 ⇒ eq.(1)
there were 80 more pencils than pens
y - x = 80 ⇒ eq.(2)
from eq.(2) x = y - 80
By substitution with x from the last equation at eq.(1)
∴ (y - 80) + 0.5 y = 220
1.5y = 220 + 80 = 300
y = 300/1.5 = 200
x = y - 80 = 200 - 80 = 120
<u>So, the number of pens = 120 and the number of pencils = 200</u>

Step-by-step explanation:
Use the equation 55,000(.96)^9. Start with the initial number in this case it is 55,000 then multiply by the percentage that remains (100% - 4% = 96%) and then put it to the ninth power because that is how many years the problem is asking for.
