Problem

The pen fair had a sale where five pens were of \$$72 1/2\$. How much money would you need if you wanted to buy ten pens?

Operator used

\$\times\$

Step - 1

Cost of five pens = \$$72 1/2\$ = \$$72.5\$

Step - 2

Then, the cost of one pen = \$(72.5)/5\$ = \$14.5\$

Step - 3

The cost of ten pens = \$14.5 \times 10\$ = \$145\$

Step - 4

So, we need \$$145\$ to buy ten pens
