Answer 1

Each pencil cost 2 dollars

Explanation:

First you would subtract 10 from 24 to find out how much money she spent on the pencils in total

Then you divide the answer (14) by seven because that is how many pencils she bought when you divide it you should get 2 and that will be your answer

That is how much she spent on each pencil.

Answer 2

We know Summer had $24 to start with. To find how much she spent, subtract.

24 - 10 = $14 (the amount she spent)

Now, divide to find how much each pencil cost.

14 / 7 = $2 per pencil.

Best of Luck!
