A pencil at a stationery store costs $1, and a pen costs $1.50. Shawn spent $12 at the store. He bought a total of 9 items. Which system of equations can be used to find the number of pencils (x) and pens (y) he bought? (5 points)

1.5x + y = 12
x = 9y

x + 1.5y = 12
x + y = 9

x + 9y = 12
x = 1.5y

9x + y = 12
x = 1.5y

Respuesta :

Answer:

9 = x + y

1x + 1.5y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

9 (number of items) = x (number of pencils) + y (number of pens)

1x (cost of x number of pencils) + 1.5y (cost of y number of pen s)= 12 (total cost)
