A pen and a pencil together cost $1.10. The pen costs a dollar more than the pencil. How much does the pen cost?
+82 If they both cost 1.10 then add 1.00 two the 1.10 to get the answer of
1.10
+ 1.00
+434 Okay the pen costs a dollar more than the pencil so they would both be five cents the encil is 5 cents.
+434 The pen costs $1.05 if its one buck more than the pen because 0.05 plus 0.05 is 0.10 plus a dollar that equals $1.10
+434 The pen costs $1.05 if its one buck more than the pen because 0.05 plus 0.05 is 0.10 plus a dollar that equals $1.10

You should solve it algebraically as follows:
Let the cost of the pencil = P, then:
The cost of the pen =P + 1. So, we have:
P + P + 1 =$1.10
2P + 1 =$1.10 Subtract 1 from both sides
2P =$0.10 Divide both sides by 2
P =$0.10 / 2
P = $0.05 cents - the cost of the pencil
$1 + $0.05 =$1.05 - cost of the pen.
+434 yes you can but you still can do it this questions dosen't require much though LOL but yes it is good to keep habit.
+219 True does not require that much but at least she proves her math and gives a detailed expination of her math. Its detailed so it could help someone through the process if wanting to solve this problem.
