Alejandro bought $3.50 worth of pencils and erasers at the school store. Pencils cost $0.50 apiece, and erasers cost $0.75 apiece. Which equation written in standard form represents the number of pencils, p, and the number of erasers, e, that Alejandro bought?

A0.75e = 3.50 – 0.50p
B0.50p + 0.75e = 3.50
C3e = 14 – 2p
D2p + 3e = 14

Answer:

The answer is the option B

\(0.50p+0.75e=3.50\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

p------> the number of pencils

e------> the number of erasers

we know that

The total cost of pencils and erasers, is equal to the numbers of pencils multiplied by \(\$0.50\) plus the number of erasers  multiplied by \(\$0.75\)

so

\(0.50p+0.75e=3.50\) ------> equation that represent the situation written in standard form
