Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the cost of each mechanical pencil, we need to know the price of a bundle of 10 mechanical pencils.

Since the missing information is not provided, we cannot compute the cost of each mechanical pencil.

Answer 2

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To compute the cost of each mechanical pencil, we need to know the total cost of the erasers and the number of mechanical pencils. However, the information given doesn't provide the total cost of the erasers or the number of mechanical pencils. Therefore, it is not possible to fill in the missing place in the equation to compute the cost of each mechanical pencil with the given information.
