1. Problem Description

Problem 19: Four pencils cost 76p altogether. We need to find the cost of one pencil.
Problem 20: There are 81 children in 3 equal size classes. We need to find the number of children in each class.

2. Solution Steps

Problem 19:
To find the cost of one pencil, we need to divide the total cost by the number of pencils.
Cost of one pencil = Total cost / Number of pencils
Cost of one pencil = 76/476 / 4
76/4=1976 / 4 = 19
Problem 20:
To find the number of children in each class, we need to divide the total number of children by the number of classes.
Number of children in each class = Total number of children / Number of classes
Number of children in each class = 81/381 / 3
81/3=2781 / 3 = 27

3. Final Answer

Problem 19: 19 p
Problem 20: 27
