Answer 1

Mr spears was purchasing supplies for his math classroom. He had $25 to spend. Mechanical pencils and erarsers come in bundles of 10. Each eraser costs $.50. Fill in the missing place in the equation to compute the cost of each mechanical pencil
___ (x + 0.50 = 25)

Answer 2

Let's assume the cost of each mechanical pencil is $x. Since each bundle contains 10 mechanical pencils, the cost of each bundle would be 10x.
Since Mr. Spears has $25 to spend, the equation would be:
10x + 0.50(10) = 25

Simplifying the equation:
10x + 5 = 25
10x = 25 - 5
10x = 20

Dividing both sides by 10:
x = 2

Therefore, the cost of each mechanical pencil is $2.

Answer 3

Let's assume the cost of each mechanical pencil is x dollars. Since each bundle contains 10 mechanical pencils, the cost of each bundle would be 10x dollars.
Since Mr. Spears has $25 to spend, the equation would be:
10x + 0.50(10) = 25

Simplifying the equation:
10x + 5 = 25

The missing place to compute the cost of each mechanical pencil would be 10x.
