MR.BOWER HAS 3 TIMEs AS MANY pens as pencils and he has 20 pens and pencils so how many pens does Mr.Bower have?
15 pens. 5 pencils.
If 15 pens and 20 pencils cost as much as 20 pens and 15 pencilshow do you compare the costs of two?
this is a simple question that requires a little bit of substitution. before making hte 2 equations, we need to define our two unknowns, so let x= cost of pens y= cost of pencils therefore 15x + 20y= 20x = 15y -5x = -5y therefore x=y Hence, the cost of the pens and the pencils is the same.
Mrs Crew bought 4 pencils and 3 pens for 5.60 Miss Houston bought 2 pencils and 3 pens of the same kind for 4.60 What was the price of each pencil and each pen?
4x + 3y = 5.60 2x + 3y = 4.60 4x + 3y = 5.60 -2x - 3y = -4.60 ------------------------ 2x = 1.00 x = .50 <==cost of pencil 2x + 3y = 4.60 2(.50) + 3y = 4.60 1 + 3y = 4.60 3y = 3.60 y = $1.20 <==cost of pen Pencils are $.50 and pens are $1.20 <==ANSWER
