Answer:
$5.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Joshua paid $9.10 for a bag and has $16.25 left
Now let's find out how much Joshua had before spending on a bag. To do this, we simply sum up the cost of the bag and how much Joshua had lefyt
9.10 + 16.25
=$25.35
Since Joshua and Shopping had the same amount, Shuping also had $25.35
To get the cost of the pen, we subtract the amount Shuping had left after purchasing the pen
This gives;
25.35 - 19.60
=$5.75
Answer: the cost of the pen is $5.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost of the pen.
Shuping and joshua had the same amount of money. Joshua paid $9.10 for a bag and had $16.25 left. This means that the amount of money that Joshua had initially was
16.25 + 9.1 = $25.35
Shuping bought a pen and had $19.60 left. Since they have the same amount of money initially, it means that
x + 19.6 = 25.35
x = 25.35 - 19.6
x = $5.75
