I am making a Thanksgiving basket with pumpkins and Indian corn.  The pumpkins cost 3 cents each and the corn cost 2 cents each.  Using the clues below, find out how many pumpkins and how many ears of corn I bought.

• Altogether the pumpkins and corn cost 21 cents
• I bought twice as many ears of corn than pumpkins

Show your work.

















For 4th and 5th grades:  Suppose the pumpkins and corn cost 49 cents altogether, how many pumpkins and ears of corn did I buy?
