Answer:
Cost of each pencil is $3.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that we have $25 to spend on two pencils.
After buying 2 pencils the remaining amount is $19.
Cost of 2 pencils = Total amount - Remaining amount
= $25 - $19
= $6
The cost of 2 pencils is $6. So, the cost of each pencil is
Cost of each pencil = [tex]\dfrac{\$6}{2}=\$3[/tex]
Therefore, the cost of each pencil is $3.
