    The price of one colored pencil was $0.70

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let p be the price of 1 colored pencil:

    We know he bought 5 colored pencils and 3 notebooks and had 2 dollars left over, meaning he spent 8, so we can write out:

    5p + 3 (1.5) = 8

    That becomes:

    5p + 4.5 = 8

    Isolate p by moving 4.5 to the right:

    5p = 3.5

    Divide by 5

    p = 0.7
