    We would save $1.52 cents

    Step-by-step explanation:

    3 the pencil were at sale for 25 cent

    1 pencil = 25 cent/3 = 8.33 cent per one pencil

    5 the pencil were at sale for 29 cent

    1 pencil = 29 cent/5 = 5.8 cent per one pencil

    If we bought 60 pencil in group of 3 for 25 cent

    =60/3 = 20 pencil

    25cents * 20 pencil = 500 cent per 60 pencil

    If we bought 60 pencil in group of 5 for 29 cent

    =60/5 = 12 pencil

    29cents * 12 pencil = 348 cent per 60 pencil

    From the analysis, the 5 pencil for 29 cent is cheaper are we are going to save: 500-348 = 152 cents
