Aaron paid $9.75 for markers that cost $0.75 each. he bought 4 times as many pencils for $0.35 each. How much did Aaron pay for pencils?

Aaron paid $18.20 for the pencils because he bought 13 markers ($9.75/.75) and bought 4 times as many pencils so he bought 52 pencils (13 times 4) and each pencil cost .35 so divide 52 by .35 you get $18.20

Aaron paid $18.20 for pencils.

What are linear equations?

A linear equation only has one or two variables. No variable in a linear equation is raised to a power greater than 1.

Now, given cost of 1 marker = $ 0.75

Amount paid for the markers = $9.75

Number of markers bought by Aaron = $9.75/$0.75

⇒Number of markers bought by Aaron = 13

Let x be the pencils bought by Aaron.

⇒4 * Number of markers bought by Aaron = x

⇒ 4 * 13 = x

⇒ x = 52

Aaron bought 52 pencils.

Since he bought pencil for $0.35 each.

Therefore, Amount paid by Aaron for pencils = $0.35 x

⇒ Amount paid by Aaron for pencils = $0.35 * 52 = $18.20

So, Aaron paid $18.20 for the pencils.
