Answer 2

Answer:

7 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

given budget = £10

he brought 3 pencils of £1.45 each = 3×£1.45 = £4.35 ---- (1)

after that, he brought x pencils of 90p each = ?

he had £2.05 left with him

so it means that he brought £(10 - 2.05) = £7.95 of pencils ---- (2)

subtract (2) from (1)

£(7.95 - 4.35) = £3.6

therefore he brought £2.3 of the x pencils which cost 90p(0.9) each

so, x = 3.6/0.9

=> 36/9

=> 4 pencils

total pencils = 3+4 = 7
