Answer:

12 Rulers and 17 Pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

15 x 8 = cents spend

15 x 8 = 120

$5-120cents ($1.2) = $3.8 (380 cents)

380/30= 12 rulers with 20 cent remaining

20/8= 2 pencils with 4 cent remaining

now add!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

12 ruler +2 pencils +15 pencils=

12 Rulers and 17 Pencils
