Frank bought 6 pens and 3 highlighters in the school store and paid $21 for the whole purchase. His friend, Andy, paid $19 for 2 pens and 4 highlighters. If all pens cost the same and all highlighters cost the same, what is the price of one pen?

Sagot :

Answer:one pen = $1.50

Step-by-step explanation:

See picture for the math if that helps

Using p for pens, h for highlighter,

A for first equation

B for second equation


I used equation A to reduce to a usable substitute by dividing all by 3

And then isolating “h”.

Now substitute the value of “h” into equation B and solve for “p”

P=$1.50

To check your work, substitute p ($1.50) into equation B and solve for “h”

h=$4.00

Now substitute the p and h values into either equation A or B and solve, they equal the numbers given
