Question

THIRD GRADE TEACHER ORDERED 125 PENCILS, 4TH GRADE STUDENT ORDERED 115 PENCILS. THE TOTAL CPST WAS 81.60 HOW MUCH DID THE PENCILS COST

Answer 1

The two teachers ordered a total of 125 + 115 = 240 pencils.

 

To find the individual cost, divide the total cost by the total pencils.

 

81.60/240 = 0.34

 

Each pencil cost 34 cents.
