(b) Ali gave an equal number of pencils and erasers to his sister and had a total of 131 pencils and erasers left. How many erasers did he give to his sister?
+313 Each pencil = $0.80
Each eraser = 1/4 * $0.80 = $0.20
Each box = pencils : erasers = 12 : 7
= $99
(a) $0.80 * 12 = $9.60 (pencils)
$0.20 * 7 = $1.40 (erasers)
$9.60 + $1.40 = $11
$99 ➗ $11 = 9 sets
12 * 9 = 108 pencils
(b) 7 * 9 = 63 erarsers (Ali have)
108 + 63 = 171 (pencils & erasers)
171 - 131 = 40 (Ali gave)
40 ➗ 2 = 20 (Erasers Ali gave to sister)
