Studdy Solution
STEP 1
1. Carla buys two packages of pens.
2. The total number of pens Carla buys is 49.
3. Each package contains pens of a single color.
4. The number of pens in each package corresponds to the numbers in the given table.
STEP 2
1. Identify potential combinations of pen packages.
2. Check each combination to find the one that sums to 49 pens.
3. Confirm the solution.
STEP 3
List the number of pens available in each color from the table: - Blue: 25 pens - Black: 12 pens - Red: 24 pens - Green: 33 pens
STEP 4
Check combinations of two different colors to see if they sum to 49 pens.
- Blue (25) + Black (12) = 37 (not 49)
- Blue (25) + Red (24) = 49 (possible solution)
- Blue (25) + Green (33) = 58 (not 49)
- Black (12) + Red (24) = 36 (not 49)
- Black (12) + Green (33) = 45 (not 49)
- Red (24) + Green (33) = 57 (not 49)
STEP 5
Confirm that the combination of Blue and Red pens is the only one that sums to 49 pens.
- Blue (25) + Red (24) = 49
Carla buys pens in the following colors:
