Answer:

x = 5 pens

y = 7 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

let

x = the number of pens

y = the number of pencils

Anthony spent $2.80 to buy a total of 12 pens and pencils

0.35x + 0.15y = 2.80

x + y = 12

by solving the system of equations

0.35x + 0.15y = 2.80

x + y = 12

we find

x = 5 pens

y = 7 pencils
