Mrs. mcintyre needs to buy pencils and erasers for her math class. the store is selling a box of pencils for $2 and a box of erasers for $1. she needs to buy four times as many pencils as erasers. if she can only spend $18, how many boxes of each will she buy?

8 boxes of pencils and 2 boxes of erasers

Step-by-step explanation:

2 times 4 equals 8, which is the part where she needs to buy 4 times as many pencils as erasers.

8 times 2 is 16 and 1 times 2 is 2 add both 16 and 2 together and you get 18 so she spends all $18

the answer is 25 because they're both the same

we can set up an equation to find the girls' ages. the equation is         28=0.5x-5+x. (comment if you need me to explain how i got this equation.) so, you add x and 0.5x to get 1.5x and add 5 to each side. your new equation is 33=1.5x. now divide both sides of the equation by 1.5 to get 22=x. because x is mary's age, to find jasmine's age we subtract mary's age from 28. we find that mary is 22 years old and jasmine is 6 years old.
