If you buy the 40 pack, you save around a dollar.

so therefore you wanna buy as much of those as possible, which is 2 in this case.

$74.4=80 pencils

$20.6 left

the max you can buy individually from that would be 21 which costs another $20.37

	
so to sum it all up you can spend a total of $74.4+$20.37=$94.77

you can't spend those 23 cents, so the final amount of pencils you can buy is 101 pencils
