Colored markers cost 78 cents each Pablo has 21.62 dollars in his pocket how many markers can Pablo buy

Answer 1

This problem is a conversion problem, and the question in the problem is asking you to find out how markers can be bought if you have $21.62 and it cost $0.78 per marker. In other words, convert the money in your pocket for markers into actual markers.

Your equation should look like this: $21.62 x (1marker/ $0.78) = number of markers you can buy.

Your math should look like this:

$21.62 / $0.78 = 27.71

The answer to the problem: Pablo can buy 27 markers. Which means he will spend $21.06, therefore, Pablo will still have $0.56 remaining in his pocket.
