Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

She spent $8 on a sketchpad and $17 in total.

Amount of money she spent on drawing pencils = [tex]17-8=9[/tex]

A drawing pencil cost $0.75 and she spent $9.

Thus, she bought [tex]9\div0.75=12[/tex] drawing pencils.

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

First I subtracted 8 from 17 and I got 9. Then I divided 9 by .75 and got 12. Then to check I substituted 12 into the equation which is 12(.75) + 8 and I get 17.
