Let's first find how much it is for one pen.  So we'll divide the price of 5 of them by 5:

\(\frac{6.25}{5} = 1.25\)

Now we'll divide 17.50 by 1.25 to see how many we can buy with $17.50:

\(\frac{17.5}{1.25} = 14\)

So your final answer is 14 pens.

The answer will be 14 because first you have to find the cost per pen to find this you do 6.25 divided by 5 and you get 1.25. Next you divide 17.50 by 1.25 and you get 14
