    Joelle had $24 to spend on seven pencils. After buying them she had $10. How much did each pencil cost?

    Subtract the $10 left over from the $24 Joelle started with.
    $24 - $10 = $14

    Therefore, Joelle spent $14 on seven pencils.

    Cost per pencil = Total Pencil Spend / Number of pencils
    Cost per pencil = 14 / 7
    Cost per pencil = $2
