Question

Micheal, gabby, and juan all went to the school store. Micheal bought 6 pencils for 095$ each, gabby bought 7 pencils for 0.85$ each, and juan bought 5 pencils 1.05$ each. Which student spent the least amount of money on pencils at the school store?

Answer 1

To find out how much each student spent on pencils, we multiply the number of pencils by the cost per pencil.

Michael spent 6 pencils * $0.95/pencil = $<<6*0.95=5.70>>5.70 on pencils.
Gabby spent 7 pencils * $0.85/pencil = $<<7*0.85=5.95>>5.95 on pencils.
Juan spent 5 pencils * $1.05/pencil = $<<5*1.05=5.25>>5.25 on pencils.

Therefore, Juan spent the least amount of money on pencils at the school store.
