If pencils sell at 6 for 59 cents, how many pencils can be bought for $2.95?

We already know from the given data that 6 pencils can be bought for 59 cents. We have to determine the number of pencils that can be bought for $2.95. So Price of 6 pencils = 59 cents. Price of 1 pencil = (59/6) cents = 9.83 cents Now total amount in hand for buying pencils = $2.95 = 295 cents Then the number of pencils that can be bought for 295 cents = (295/9.83) = 30.01 So the maximum number of pencils that can be bought for $2.95 is 30 pencils.
