Question: At A.T. Cross Luxury Pens, a pencil sells at twenty-five cents while a pen sells at fifteen cents. Bowen buys 40 pens and 2/5 times more pencils than pens from A.T. Cross Luxury Pens. Calculate the total amount of money Bowen spends.
Answer:
Bowen bought 2 / 5 * 40 pens = 16 more pencils than pens. The total number of pencils that he bought is 40 pencils + 16 pencils = 56 pencils. If each pencil costs twenty - five cents, the total amount of money he spent on pencils is 56 pencils * $0.25 / pencil = $14. On pens, Bowen spent $0.15 / pen * 40 pens = $6. The total amount of money Bowen spent is $14 + $6 = $20. The answer is 20.
