Helen Johnston · Answer 1

You can solve it by using the expression (4+3) 12. First, do 4+3 which is 7. Then, you multiply it by 12 to get your total of 84. Mrs. Patil bought 84 pencils.

Penelope Henry · Answer 2

She bought 4, then she bought 3 more ... so she bought 7 packs

each pack contains 12 pencils ...

so 7 packs each containing 12 pencils ...

7 (12) = 84 total pencils <===
