Question

8) Shawna had $20 to spend on six pencils. After buying them she had

$2. How much did each pencil cost?

Answer 1

Answer: They were $6 each

Step-by-step explanation:

20-2=18

18/3=$6

Answer 2

$3

Explanation:

Since we know that there was $2 that she didn't use, we can subtract that from $20 to get $18 that was used (20 - 2 = 18)

We then divide 18 by 6 because she bought six pencils (18/6 = 3)

Each pencil costs $3

Hope this helps!

Edit: I saw your comment how you need to do the equation so here it is

(20 - 2)/6 = 3 (I could be wrong, but using my explanation and the information you gave, this would be correct)
