Shane's youth group commits to making a certain number of sandwiches for a local soup kitchen. They make 112 sandwiches, but then they run out of peanut butter. The group still
has 148 sandwiches left to make to meet their commitment.
Use an equation to find the total number of sandwiches the youth group commits to making.

260 sandwiches

Step-by-step explanation:

112 + 148 = 260

9

Step-by-step explanation:

Call the Total Amount of money he had X.

Amount he used to buy pens: 3/8X

Amount of money left after buying pens: X - 3/8X = 5/8X

Amount he used to buy notebooks: 2/5 * 5/8X = 1/4X

1/4X or 2/8X for 2 notebooks, so if he spent 3/8X for notebooks, he would get 3 notebooks.

As a notebook cost 3 times a pens, so for 3/8X money, he bought 9 pens.
