Question 785166: I have sold 2/3 of my pencils at 15 each. If i have 8 pencils left, how much money did I collect for the pencils I sold? Answer by harpazo(655) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x = the pencils you sold at 0.15 each
(2/3)x = 8
2x/3 = 8
2x = 3 times 8
2x = 24
x = 24/2
x = 12
You sold 12 pencils.
Now, 12 pencils times 0.15 each = $1.80
