However, more contestants entered than he expected, and he had to buy 2 more boxes of colored pencils. The total cost of the paper and pencils was $82.95. Identify the equation and solution that would help to find the cost of each box of pencils.

The cost of each pencil box is $11.1.

Equations:

  • A mathematical equation is a formula that uses the equals symbol = to connect two expressions and express their equality.
  • A well-formed formula consisting of two expressions linked by an equals sign is considered to be an equation in English, but the word's cognates in other languages may have slightly different definitions.
  • For instance, an equation is defined as having one or more variables in French.
  • Finding the variables' values that cause the equality to be true is the first step in solving an equation with variables.
  • The variables for which the equation must be solved are also known as the unknowns, and the unknowns' values that fulfill the equality are known as the equation's solutions.

Solution -

Spend on drawing paper = $5.25.

Number of v=box purchased = 7.

The total cost of paper and pencils was = $82.95.

Since,

[tex]7x+5.25=82.957x=77.70x=11.1[/tex]

Therefore, the cost of each pencil box is $11.1.
