The Writing Emporium sells pencils and pens individually. Alana buys a pencil

and two pens for 1.10 dollars. Jeffrey buys two pencils and a pen for 1.00 dollars. How

much does Edward spend to buy six pencils and six pens from the Writing

Emporium?

l + 2p =110

2l + p =100        l = pencil (as in pencil lead)

               add these two equations together to get

 

3l + 3p = 210       multiply the entire equation by 2

6 l  + 6 p = 420          answer is $4.20
