Jesse bought 10 more pencils than erasers. a pencil costs $0.15 and an eraser costs $0.22. he paid a total of $4.46. how many erasers did jesse buy?

“Jesse bought 10 more pencils than erasers”       means    P = 10 + E

 “A pencil costs $0.15”   means that     $0.15*P was spent on pencils

 “an eraser costs $.22”    means that    $0.22*E was spent on erasers

 “He paid a total of $4.46”    means that   $0.15*P + $0.22*E = $4.46

15*(10+E)   +   22*E    =   446

                       150 + 37E = 446

                          37E = 296

                              E = 8   Jesse bought 8 erasers

i think the amount would be $140.62
