If 4 pencils cost 10 cents how many pencils can be bought for 50 cents?
4 pencils cost 10 cents so pencils are 10/4 cents each.So 50 cents will buy 50*4/10 = 20 pencils
If pencils are bought at 70 cents per dozen and sold at 3 for 20 cents the total profit on 6 dozen is?
First, we need to restate the problem as thus: For every 70 cents, one can buy 72 pencils (equal to 6 dozen pencils). Thus, for every x cents, one can buy 3 pencils. In numerical form, this equation turns into $0.70/72 pencils = $x/3 pencils, or 0.70/72 = x/3. Simplified, one gets (3)(0.70) = 72x, or 2.1 = 72x. Hence, x=2.1/72=0.029, or $0.03, or 3 cents. So 3 pencils actually cost 3 cents. If one were to sell 3 pencils for 20 cents, one would have a profit of 17 cents for 3 pencils.

How do you answer Ray bought 15 pencils for 7.75 Some cost 45 each the rest 65 each How many of each did Ray buy. Answer step by step please?
x= # of pencils that cost .45 y= # of pencils that cost .65 So now you need 2 equations for 2 variables: 15= x+y This equation is saying: 15 total pencils bought= pencils that cost .45 + pencils that cost .65 The second equation is: 7.75= .45x + .65y This equation is saying: total money spent (7.75)= price of pencils (.45) times # of pencils + price of pencils (.65) times # of pencils Then you combine these two equations, but first switch around the first equation to look like: y=15-x Then you replace the "y" in the second equation by putting in what y equals the first equation: 7.75= .45x + .65(15-x) Then distribute and solve for x: x = 10 Then enter 10 into the first equation for x to figure out y: y= 15- 10 y= 5 So your answer is-- Ray bought 10 pencils that cost .45 and 5 pencils that cost .65
