Kacie bought x, number of pencils. She paid $0.91, including tax, per pencil. She gave the cashier $10 and received $6.36 back in change. How many pencils did she purchase?

She purchased 4 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are to calculate the number of pencils bought given the information in the question.

The amount per pencil is $0.91. The total amount of this since she bought x number of pencils is $0.91 * x = $0.91x

Now, after paying $10, she was given $6.36 as change

what this means is that what the pencils cost is 10-6.36 = $3.64

Now we equate the cost in terms of x to this;

0.91x = 3.64

x = 3.64/0.91

x = 4 pencils

4 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, Kacie bought x, number of pencils. She paid $0.91, including tax, for a pencil and gave the cashier $10 and received $6.36 back in change.

Let the number of pencils bought be x.

Since she paid $0.91 per pencil, and gave the cashier $10 and collected $6.36 as change, this will be:

10 - 0.91x = 6.36

Collect like terms

0.91x = 10 - 6.36

0.91x = 3.64

x = 3.64/0.91

x = 4

She bought 4 pencils

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
