if 3 pencils for 99 cents would be 33 each, divide that by 2 and you would get 16.5
so 16x16.5=264
4 pencils cost 10 cents so pencils are 10/4 cents each.So 50 cents will buy 50*4/10 = 20 pencils
$2.64
Well, isn't that just a happy little math problem! If 12 pencils cost 96 cents, we can find out how much 1 pencil costs by dividing 96 by 12, which equals 8 cents per pencil. To find out how much 9 pencils would cost, we simply multiply 8 cents by 9, giving us a total of 72 cents. Happy calculating!
Markers are .50cents each Pencils are .15 cents each
10 x .24 +.14=2.54 so he spent $2.54
If you can buy 3 pencils for 45 cents, the cost per pencil is 15 cents (45 cents ÷ 3 pencils). Therefore, for 5 pencils, the cost would be 75 cents (5 pencils × 15 cents per pencil).
4 pencils cost 10 cents so pencils are 10/4 cents each.So 50 cents will buy 50*4/10 = 20 pencils

I did the math on paper and a calculator and I got the same answer on both. $0.56 or 56 cents :D
A gross means 144 items. If each pencil costs 8 cents, then: 144 × 8 = 1,152 cents Convert to dollars: 1,152 cents ÷ 100 = $11.52
10 x .24 +.14=2.54 so he spent $2.54
In 1950, the cost of pencils typically ranged from around 5 to 10 cents each, depending on the brand and quality. A pack of pencils could be purchased for about 25 to 50 cents. Prices varied based on location and specific retailers, but overall, pencils were quite affordable during that time period.
12 x 10 = 120 cents (Or 1 dollar 20 cents.)
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.
