Answer:$2

Step-by-step explanation:

5 notebooks cost $4 each

5*$4=$20

Jada pays the cashier $40 and gets $8 back

So in order to figure out how much was paid you take

$40-$8=$32

Then to figure out how much each pen cost I take

$32-$20=$12

So there was 6 pens that were bought and to get the total per each pen

$12/6=$2 each per pen
