Remi buys 4 pencils, 1 pen, 2 sharpeners and some notebooks.
He pays with £6 and receives 89p change.
How many notebooks did he buy?

Answer 1

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

cost of 1 pencil = 25p

cost 0f 4 pencil = 4 x 25 = 100p (please convert)

cost of 1 pen = 33p

cost of 1 sharpener =  79p

cost of 2 sharpener = 79 x 2 = 158p (please convert)

cost of 1 notebook = 110p

number of notebooks = x

total cost without notebook = 100 + 33 + 158 = 291p

total cost with notebooks = 600 - 89 = 511p

cost of notebook = 511 - 291 = 220p

no. of notebooks = 220/110 = 2

He bought 2 notebooks.
