A group of people ordered pencils. The bill was $ 0.21 0.21. If the original price of each was 6 6 cents and the price has risen, how much does each cost? The cost of each pencil is nothing cents. (Type a whole number.)

Answer: $0.07

Step-by-step explanation:

The Cost of pencil ordered = $0.21

= 21cents

The original price of each pencil was 6 cents. Since the price has risen, we need to know the current price.

3 an 7 are factors of 21 and prime numbers

21 = 3*7

Since the current price is greater than 6 cents because of the increase in price, the current price is therefore $0.07 each.

To find the number of pencils that was ordered, divide 0.21 by 0.07

= 0.21/0.07

= 3 pencils

The group bought 3 pencils
