I'm stuck on this math problem: The school store had a sale on pencils. Ten students bought pencils. The first two students bought 2 pencils each. The next six students bought three pencils each and the last two students only bought one pencil each. How many pencils were sold?
Can you help?
The first students bought 2*2=4 pencils
The next 6 students bought 6*3=18 pencils
The last two students bought 1+1=2 pencils
In total the store sold 4+18+2=24 pencils
