Tom conducted a drawing competition at school. He bought 5 boxes of colored pencils and spent $5.25 on drawing paper. However, more contestants entered than he expected, and he had to buy 2 more boxes of colored pencils. The total cost of the paper and pencils was $82.95. Identify the equation and solution that would help to find the cost of each box of pencils
5y − 2y + 5.25 = 82.95; $11.10
5y − 2y + 5.25 = 82.95; $1.11
5y + 2y + 5.25 = 11.10; $82.95
5y + 2y + 5.25 = 82.95; $11.10
