Billy spent $30 on a T-shirt a sandwich and two books the T-shirt cost $8.95 in the sandwich cost $7.25 the books each cost the same amount how much did each Book cost
To find out how much each book cost first we will subract to find out how many 2 books cost. Then we will divide. last but not least we will check our wok. Lets do it:-
30 - 8.95 = 21.05
21.05 - 7.25 = 13.80
CHECK OUR WORK:-
13.80 + 7.25 = 21.05
21.05 + 8.95 = 30
We were RIGHT!!!
Now lets divide:-
13.80 ÷ 2 = 6.90
1 book costs $6.90.
CHECK OUR WORK:-
6.90 × 2 = 13.80
We were RIGHT!!!!
So, 1 book costs $6.90.
Hope i helped ya!!
