    Aliyah had $24 to spend on seven pencils after buying them she had $10 how much did each pencil cost?

    If Aliyah had $24 to spend, and $10 left over, then she spent $24 - $10 = $14 on pencils

    Find the cost per pencil:
    Cost per pencil = Pencil Spend / Number of Pencils
    Cost per pencil = 14/7
    Cost per pencil = $2
